Had a great time at SEACSM this week! Got to present some cool data as a finalist in the doctoral student award competition diving deeper into the relationship b/w out of school programs and MVPA in children ⚽️🏃🏻‍♀️🎵

Super excited to get this paper out! Really cool using between- and within-person analyses to examine the relationship between day-level childcare attendance and 24-Hr movement behaviors in 3-5yr olds 🏃🏻‍♀️💤📺

Hannah Parker, MS presenting at SBM on movement behaviors in elementary-aged children & out of school programs! Representing: Arnold Healthy Kids Initiative USC Dept of Exercise Science USC Arnold School of Public Health

New study by @Lauren_vonK! We wanted to understand how researchers balance best practices of intervention development alongside the realities of limited funding, time, and other challenges. Results come from a survey of 430 PIs funded by the NIH. doi.org/10.1093/tbm/ib…

Coming up! The Arnold School's Annual Picnic will be held on April 19 at Saluda Shoals Park. We'll see you there for food, activities, and fun! 🚣 🥪 ow.ly/4hER50QQlfg USC Dept of Exercise Science USC Health Services Policy & Management USC Communication Sciences and Disorders Daniela Friedman

Funded with $3.5M from the National Institutes of Health, exercise science associate professor Glenn Weaver is looking for patterns of weight gains and BMI increases based on behavioral, social, environmental and biological factors. ow.ly/vIUO50QZvOX #ArnoldSchoolDiscovery

One last flashback to the SBM annual meeting to say THANK YOU Elizabeth Adams for your service as chair to the Child and Family Health SIG. We appreciate you! Aspirations to be chair one day? Join one of our sub-committees! More info 👇 buff.ly/42uG8Z2

Our consolidated guidance for behavioral intervention pilot and feasibility studies is out today! We relied on 161 publications on pilot/feasibility studies, and a Delphi panel of experts to create a go-to resource for behavioral researchers. doi.org/10.1186/s40814…

USC Dept of Exercise Science assistant professor Bridget Armstrong (@ArmstrongACOI) has been awarded $3.5 M from the NIH to test the effectiveness of PATCH, a wearable device designed to measure children’s routine activities. ow.ly/Raln50ReSBY #ArnoldSchoolDiscovery #ArnoldSchoolImpact

Whereas previous studies have focused on enhancing #childcare quality for children already attending, this study investigated whether simply attending child care may in itself act as an intervention impacting 24hr #movement behaviors doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2… - Currently 🆓 to read

Great opportunity in our department! uscjobs.sc.edu/postings/166833

Meet Hannah Parker (Hannah Parker, MS), who recently published in JPAH on 24-hour movement behaviors in preschool-aged children. She's pursuing a PhD with USC Arnold School of Public Health and works with Arnold Healthy Kids Initiative. 🔗 doi.org/10.1123/jpah.2…

More evidence that structured programming helps kids stay healthy! #USC researchers have found that the more days kids spend in summer camps, the better their BMI. ow.ly/PFaP50TRwhg #ArnoldSchoolDiscovery #ResearchThatMatters

Excited to see this in print JAMA Pediatrics! Providing free access to existing summer day camps is a viable strategy for mitigating accelerated BMI gain - see results of our 3yr RCT below.
