Disparities in Physical Activity Experienced by Children with Disabilities: Secondary Analysis of the National Survey of Children’s Health 2016-2017

Creator:: Ross, Samantha Mae
Abstract:: Children with disabilities report some of the lowest physical activity (PA) levels among U.S. children. Estimating the magnitude of PA disparities has been previously challenged by underreporting and variability in subsampling of children with disabilities. The present research leverages the redesigned National Survey of Children’s Health to estimate population-level disparities...

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...

Examination of Multiple Air Pollutant Exposure, the Food Environment, and Low Birth Weight in Los Angeles, County

Creator:: Coker, Eric S.
Abstract:: Exposure to urban outdoor air pollution is ubiquitous and low birth weight represents an important health disparity in the United States. While previous research suggests that exposure to outdoor air pollutants are associated with term low birth weight, few studies have evaluated the effects of multipollutant outdoor air exposures or...

Environmental Mixtures and Selected Health Outcomes in the US Population

Creator:: Przybyla, Jennifer
Abstract:: The human health effects of exposure to numerous single environmental contaminants have been well characterized. Yet, biomonitoring studies have detected multiple environmental chemicals in humans, highlighting the need to investigate the health effects of exposure to multiple environmental chemicals. Environmental data is highly complex, therefore current methods of defining environmental...
