Supporting children who struggle with self-regulation : the role of early family risk and child care quality

Creator:: Pratt, Megan E.
Abstract:: Children's early self-regulation skills have long-term implications for a variety of academic, social, and health outcomes.

Theoretical predictors of successfully transitioning from supervised to home-based (unsupervised) exercise programs among elderly women with breast cancer

Creator:: Loprinzi, Paul D.
Abstract:: Supervised exercise interventions can elicit numerous positive health outcomes in breast cancer survivors. However, to maintain these benefits, exercise needs to continue long after the supervised program. This may be difficult, as in this transitional period (i.e., time period immediately following a supervised exercise program), breast cancer survivors are in...
