<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Introduction</bold> Despite urgent need for evidence-based violence prevention solutions, demonstrating the impact of community-based programs, which are primed to be culturally relevant and community-tailored, remains difficult. Thus, our community-academic research team, conducted a participatory evaluation identify proximal outcomes Beyond Bars (BTB), an urban United States-based music enrichment program seeking empower young people facilitate community...
Abstract Objective The circadian rhythm synchronizes physiological and behavioral patterns with the 24‐h light–dark cycle. Disruption to is linked various health conditions, although optimal methods describe these disruptions remain unclear. An emerging approach examine intraindividual variability in measurable properties of over extended periods. Epileptic seizures are modulated by rhythms, but relevance disruption epilepsy remains unexplored. Our study investigates its relationship...
Accelerometers are widely used to measure physical activity behaviour, including in children. The traditional method for processing acceleration data uses cut points define intensity, relying on calibration studies that relate the magnitude of energy expenditure. However, these relationships do not generalise across diverse populations and hence they must be parametrised each subpopulation (e.g., age groups) which is costly makes over time difficult. A data-driven approach allows intensity...
BackgroundEvidence about physical activity of young children across developmental and health states is very limited. Using data from an inclusive UK cohort, ActiveCHILD, we investigated relationships between objectively measured activity, child development, social context, health-related quality life (HRQoL).MethodsChildren (12–36 months), purposively sampled pathways, abilities, sociodemographic factors, were recruited through thirteen National Health Service organisations in England. Data...

Neurostimulation using weak electric fields has generated excitement in recent years due to its potential as a medical intervention. However, study of this stimulation modality been hampered by inconsistent results and large variability within between studies. In order begin addressing we need properly characterise the impact current on underlying neuron populations. To develop test computational model capable capturing field networks neurons. We construct cortical tissue with distinct...

<h3>Objective</h3> Evidence about physical activity of young children across health states is very limited. Using data from an inclusive UK cohort, ActiveCHILD, we describe children's objectively measured, everyday activity, and investigate its relationship with child development, disability, social context, health-related quality life (HRQoL). <h3>Methods</h3> Children (12–36 months), purposively sampled pathways, developmental abilities sociodemographic factors, were recruited through...
<h3>Objective</h3> To enable evidence-based public health policy and guidelines for 24-hour behaviours in infants toddlers, by demonstrating the feasibility acceptability of using valid, objective, longitudinal measures everyday behaviour physiology toddlers. <h3>Methods</h3> We are currently recruiting, through non-NHS community partners, children age 4–36 months, measuring their 24hr physical activity, sleep stress as well related within lives five days, a combination wearable sensors (a...
<h3>Objective</h3> To find out what community clinicians can do to promote active play and physical activity in the youngest children, including those at highest risk of life-course inactivity. <h3>Methods</h3> Children (12–36 months), purposively sampled across health pathways, developmental abilities, sociodemographic factors, were recruited through thirteen NHS Trusts England. Data collected longitudinally from 2017 2021, on: everyday using accelerometer (ActiGraph 3GTX);...
