The Youth-Nex Conference on Physical Health and Well-Being for Youth, Oct 10 & 11, 2013, University of Virginia
"Developing Sustainable Family-Centered Obesity Interventions: What Can
We Learn from Developmental Psychology and Implementation Science?"
- Kirsten Davison, Ph.D.
Davison is an Associate Professor of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. She completed her PhD at the Pennsylvania State University in Child and Family Development.
Panel 3 — Nutrition and Healthy Eating. As we understand more about what defines good nutrition for youth, we are also increasingly understanding the importance of instilling healthy eating habits for youth in the context of family, school, and sport. This varied panel covers major topics within this under-considered but important area of youth development.

Talk given at Youth-Nex, at the University of Virginia. During the last decade, there have been significant advances in social and emotional learning (SEL) research, practice, and policy. This talk will highlight key areas of progress and challenges as we broadly implement school-family-community partnerships to foster positive behavioral, academic, and life outcomes for preschool to high school students. My goal for this presentation is to provide a foundation to foster group discussion about future priorities for the next decade.

Lorraine Sherr, Professor, University College London– Parenting support in the context of HIV, Expert Consultation on Family and Parenting Support, UNICEF Office of Research – Innocenti Florence 26-27 May 2014
This session will begin by describing a typical experience for a student struggling with multiple health and mental health challenges as they navigate the Central Valley’s complex and siloed adolescent healthcare system. Drawing on their experiences working in integrated healthcare settings, the presenters will share their vision for a local system that incorporates psychosocial screenings with a referral network that includes medical providers, social workers, therapists, nutritionists, reproductive health services, and more. By facilitating relationships between clinical and non-clinical providers, and integrating physical and mental health services, an integrated system can shift providers’ thinking from a focus on health to a focus on overall well-being for Central Valley youth.
This workshop will introduce Fathers and Families of San Joaquin’s Trauma Recovery Center and their partnership with Stockton Unified School District and AmeriCorps to implement a comprehensive Transformative Healing Initiative in seven South Stockton schools. Participants will learn how the program is creating healthier school climates and reductions in student discipline while promoting student leadership and empowerment. This session will include an overview of the initiative and practical organizing strategies that provide the foundation for the partnership.

Population and Public Health Branch of Saskatoon Health Region deployed improvement methods to develop a comprehensive strategy to improve outcomes for small children ages 0 to 5. The Early Years Health and Development Strategy (EYHDS) team comprised of 5 front line staff and an improvement consultant worked intensively over three months (Feb, Mar, and April, 2012) to Define, Measure and Analyze the opportunity for improvement and generated 25 recommendations. The result was a set of related recommendations for health planners, governments and community organizations. The presentation will demonstrate how improvement methods can be used effectively in community based health promotion areas of health care.

Low fruit and vegetable consumption is one of the top 10 global risk factors for mortality, and is related to increased risk for cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Many environmental, sociodemographic and personal factors affect fruit and vegetable consumption. This review explores strategies to improve fruit and vegetable availability.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

from a pilot study. International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, Jan 5;10:3.
2. Key challenges of family-based childhood
obesity interventions
• Reaching families
• Passive refusals (consent but don’t show up)
• Parents not interested if don’t see immediate need
• Priorities for intervention do not match family priorities
3. Possible strategies
• Maintain contact with families over time
• Partner with organizations that reach families
• Use electronic means to collect data
• Build intervention into other appointments
• Design programs around the needs and interests of
families
• Ask families members what they hope to gain from
participating
4. Goals
1. Utilize community-based participatory research
(CBPR) to develop and pilot test a family-centered
obesity prevention program for children enrolled in
Head Start.
2. Incorporate the resulting intervention into systems of
care (e.g., Head Start, WIC, pediatric care).
5. Family Action-based Model of Intervention Layout
and Implementation (FAMILI)
Phase 1: Theory
Phase 2: Research
Phase 3: Intervention
Design & Implementation
Utilize theories of family
development to frame
family-centered research
Use a mixed methods
approach to examine
factors impacting on
parents and families that
are relevant for intervention
design.
Utilize a CBPR paradigm to
develop interventions that
empower parents and
caregivers to foster healthy
family lifestyles and establish
systems-level change that
reinforces family change.

26. Summary of Results
• Successful parent and community engagement
• Broad exposure to CHL
• Improvements in child and parent outcomes
• Dose effects were observed
Limitations
•Absence of a control group
•Small sample size
27. What now?
Scaling up a CBPR-based program
•Focus on best processes rather than best practices
Component
Practice
Process
Health
communication
campaign
Posters illustrating myths
endorsed by parents and
research dispelling such
myths
Parent awareness and
understanding of their child’s
weight status
Family nutrition
counseling
Nutrition graduate student is
available during “pick up” to
answer parents’ questions
Nutrition knowledge; parent
social networking; knowledge
of relevant community
resources
28. Implementation science
as a framework for future research
Challenges us to:
•Utilize methods to efficiently move research to
practice
•Focus on ecological validity (applicability, utility,
feasibility, implementation effectiveness)
•Collect measures relevant to stakeholders and key
decision makers
•Ensure representative samples
