Social connection and loneliness in adolescence are increasingly understood as critical influences on adult mental physical health. The unique impact of the social isolation imposed by COVID-19 lockdown emerging adults is therefore expected to be especially profound. We sought investigate feasibility using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) wearable accelerometers characterize effects and/or experienced adolescents during pandemic. recruited 19 participants aged 13-18 from an Adolescent...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among women in United States. A considerable number young already have risk factors for CVD. Awareness CVD and its critical to preventing CVD, yet younger are less aware prevalence, factors, preventative behaviors compared older women.
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death for women in US, yet many young are unaware their lifetime risk CVD. We employed user-centered design principles to adapt a validated CVD prediction tool women. Hypothesis: hypothesized that would rate (HerHeart) as user-friendly, be likely recommend it friends, experience change perceived CVD, and report intent health habits after engaging with it. Methods: recruited 13 ages 13-21 from two clinical practices...
Abstract Background Social connection throughout the life course is increasingly understood as critically important for mental and physical health. We sought to investigate feasibility of using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) wearable accelerometers characterize effects social isolation and/or loneliness experienced by adolescents during COVID-19 pandemic on their Methods recruited 19 participants ages 13–18 from an Adolescent Medicine practice in Atlanta, Georgia. Participants...
Purpose: Previous studies have shown that young women low awareness of heart disease, despite cardiovascular (CV) disease being the number one cause death in women. While CV risk assessment tools exist for adults, there are no similar specifically adolescents. This project focuses on developing a lifestyle-based health prediction tool and behavior intervention Methods: We report qualitative case study four hour-long semi-structured interviews with aged 13-21 years participating larger to...
