The collection and use of demographic data in psychological sciences has the potential to aid transforming inequities brought about by unjust social conditions toward equity. However, many current methods surrounding do not achieve this goal. Some function reduce, but eliminate, inequities, whereas others may perpetuate harmful stereotypes, invalidate minoritized identities, exclude key groups from research participation or access disseminated findings. In article, we aim (a) review ethical...
This study assessed perceptions of Clinical Psychology doctoral programs' efforts to recruit and retain faculty graduate students color, as well differences in based on participants' position within their program (i.e. student versus faculty) race.
Importance Limited access to healthy foods, resulting from residence in neighborhoods with low food access, is a public health concern. The contribution of this exposure early life child obesity remains uncertain. Objective To examine associations neighborhood during pregnancy or childhood body mass index (BMI) and risk. Design, Setting, Participants Data cohorts participating the US nationwide Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes consortium between January 1, 1994, March 31,...
ABSTRACT Objective This study compared an objective measurement of physical activity (PA) in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) at low‐weight, weight‐restored, and post‐treatment time points, also PA AN that healthy controls (HC). Method Sixty‐one female inpatients wore a novel accelerometer (the IDEEA) which measured three points: a) b) c) one month post‐hospital discharge. Twenty‐four HCs the IDEEA point. Results Inpatients became more physically active than they were low‐weight weight...
Individuals with a body mass index (BMI)≥25 kg/m2 are less likely to initiate and continue breastfeeding than those BMIs<25. Given the intergenerational health benefits of breastfeeding, it is important understand behaviors their correlates among individuals BMIs≥25. Thus, in an observational cohort BMI≥25 (N = 237), we aimed characterize longitudinal relationships planning, initiation, duration sociodemographic/clinical determine if pre-pregnancy BMI predicts duration. Breastfeeding...
Abstract Background Few have examined nutrition literacy (i.e., capacity to process and make informed nutritional decisions) in behavioral weight loss. Nutrition (NL) may impact necessary skills for loss, contributing outcome disparities. Purpose The study sets out identify correlates of NL; evaluate whether NL predicted food record completion quality, session attendance; investigate the relations race education loss were mediated by self-monitoring. Methods This is a secondary analysis...
Behavioral weight loss (BWL) programs are not sufficiently effective at promoting high levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), despite the clear health benefits exercise and possibility that MVPA may improve long-term loss. This three-arm randomized controlled trial tested hypotheses 1) BWL interventions with an intensive focus on would result in higher amounts greater loss, compared to standard BWL, 2) among exercise, outcomes be superior when skills for promotion were...
Loss of control (LOC) eating (feeling unable to food type/amount eaten) during pregnancy is common and linked risk for poor cardiovascular health (CVH), but it unclear whether prenatal LOC directly relates CVH pregnancy. The current study tested associations between in a sample with prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25.

This is a critical issue as inadequate diversity, multiculturalism has substantial downstream effects on care for clients color may contribute to racial disparities inequities access mental health services.

Clinical psychological science is a field committed to reducing the negative impact of psychiatric illness through innovative research and treatments. Unfortunately, racial injustices that pervade American society permeate our academic institutions felt not only by individuals who work in departments as faculty, staff, students, but also those seek services mental health providers. Representing collective numerous graduate students postdoctoral trainees from multiple institutions, this call...
The purpose of the current study was to examine relative reinforcing effect exercise compared a non-monetary alternative reinforcer (leisure activity), and money, before after weight restoration in an inpatient population with anorexia nervosa (AN). Sixty-two inpatients AN completed progressive ratio (PR) task earn exercise, leisure activities, or cash at low restoration. Measures pathology motivation were post-treatment discharge weights collected. Patients worked harder for than (df = 46,...
Psychometrically sound measures of disordered eating during pregnancy are needed, particularly for pregnant individuals with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25, who at high risk attitudes/behaviors. We previously adapted the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) use among BMI 25. This study examined factor structure EDE-Pregnancy Version (EDE-PV) in a community sample The EDE-PV was administered to 257 pre-pregnancy 25 between 12 and 20 weeks gestation. determined using an exploratory analysis oblique...

Most adults with overweight/obesity participating in behavioural weight loss (BWL) programmes never achieve prescribed physical activity (PA) levels. This study examined changes PA barriers, their relationships accelerometer-measured during and after a 12-month BWL programme, associations between barriers participant characteristics.Adults (N = 283) programme completed the Barriers to Being Active Quiz, 21-item self-report measure that assesses seven perceived they wore an accelerometer for...
Summary Limited data are available on the characteristics of adolescents with obesity who seek bariatric surgery. Existing suggest that adolescent surgery candidates have a higher body mass index ( BMI ) than comparison obesity, but limited findings regarding psychosocial functioning mixed. This study aimed to compare and among candidates, outpatient medical‐treatment‐seeking (receiving lifestyle modification), in normal‐weight range. All completed self‐report measures impulsivity, delay...
Objective This study was designed to examine the variability in timing of peak weight loss behavioral treatment (BT), that is, when participants reach their greatest amount cumulative loss. Methods Secondary data analyses were conducted, drawing upon from two clinical trials provided 12 months group‐based BT, with sessions meeting less frequently second half year. Weight measured at beginning each session. Results Cumulative proportions reaching as follows: 25.0% 1 and 20.0% 2 by month 4;...
Individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) restrict fat intake. The Geiselman Food Preference Questionnaire-I© (FPQ) is a validated self-report instrument that yields preference score (>100 = high preference, <100 low preference). goal of the study was to assess utility FPQ in patients AN.(1) examine change scores before and after weight restoration hospitalized patients; (2) compare patients' from healthy participants (HPs).The completed by 88 115 HPs.Compared HPs, had significantly lower...
We examined discordant food security (FS) status classification between the USDA 10-item and six-item FS Survey Modules (FSSMs) among students at a U.S. university. A random sample reflecting University's sociodemographic composition was recruited by e-mail in 2020. Respondents (N = 2653) completed FSSMs. (binary: secure/insecure; four-category: high/marginal/low/very low) determined using Seventy (2.6%) were discordantly classified on binary 238 (9%) four-category FS.
