Differential effects of a school-based obesity prevention program: A cluster randomized trial.

School-based healthy living interventions are widely promoted as strategies for preventing obesity. The peer-led Healthy Buddies™ curriculum has been shown to improve obesity-related outcomes in school-aged children. We examined whether these improvements existed among subgroups of children stratified by sex, income level and urban/rural geography.

Smokers' reports on receiving a doctor's advice to quit smoking; receiving the advice is more prevalent among smokers with Crohn's Disease relative to smokers with Ulcerative Colitis.

Receiving a doctor's advice to quit smoking is an important predictor for improving smokers' intentions to quit smoking and successful smoking cessation. We examined reports of smokers with Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) regarding receiving a doctor's advice to quit smoking in the past 12 months, and evaluated the differences in the rates of receiving the advice between the CD and UC patients. The data were retrospectively reported by CD and UC patients (n = 453) who self-identified as current smokers in online assessments conducted by IBD Partners in the period from 2011 to 2014 in the USA.

Relations of Stress and Drinking Motives to Young Adult Alcohol Misuse: Variations by Gender.

Theory and empirical findings have linked stress exposure to young adult alcohol misuse, but the processes underlying this association have not been fully investigated. This study examined gender differences in the indirect pathways linking stress in developmentally relevant domains to alcohol misuse in young adults, focusing on drinking motives as a possible mediator of the association. The longitudinal associations between adolescent heavy drinking and young adult stress were also explored.

Engaging patients and the public in Health Research: experiences, perceptions and training needs among Manitoba health researchers.

Background: The significance of patient and public engagement is increasingly recognized in health research, demonstrated by explicit requirements for patient and public engagement by funding agencies and journals. Such requirements have charged health researchers with leading patient and public engagement efforts, but evidence suggests that this practice is still evolving. Little research has explored the experiences and training needs of health researchers.

The Impact of Pre-existing Immunity on the Non-clinical Pharmacodynamics of AAV5-Based Gene Therapy.

Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based vectors are widely used for gene therapy, but the effect of pre-existing antibodies resulting from exposure to wild-type AAV is unclear. In addition, other poorly defined plasma factors could inhibit AAV vector transduction where antibodies are not detected. To better define the relationship between various forms of pre-existing AAV immunity and gene transfer, we studied valoctocogene roxaparvovec (BMN 270) in cynomolgus monkeys with varying pre-dose levels of neutralizing anti-AAV antibodies and non-antibody transduction inhibitors.

Puberty Education in a Global Context: Knowledge Gaps, Opportunities, and Implications for Policy.

Youth programs and policies provide opportunities for institutions and societies to support healthy adolescent development. Puberty education programs are universally important, as they provide crucial knowledge and skills to help youth and their caregivers navigate the physical, emotional, and interpersonal changes of puberty with positive outcomes. However, few puberty programs have been rigorously evaluated, resulting in a lack of evidence-based knowledge and practice in this area.

Publication of Randomized Clinical Trials in Pediatric Research: A Follow-up Study.
