Objective: To examine associations between student perceptions of school physical activity best practices and accelerometer-based physical activity during school days.
Methods: The sample was 758 students in grades 3rd-4th or 6th-7th (female-58 %; 31 % Black/African American) from 33 schools across five school districts in a Mid-Atlantic state in the U.S.
Using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), this study examined associations between momentary availability of physical activity (PA) space and accessibility of PA opportunities among 608 elementary and middle school students who were participating in an obesity prevention trial in one mid-Atlantic state in the U.S. Smartphones prompted EMA surveys at random times to assess children's perceived availability of PA space and accessibility of PA opportunities during out-of-school time, three to seven times each day over seven days.

Background: Portal venous system aneurysms (PVA) are increasingly diagnosed on cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) imaging. However, the natural history of these aneurysms is poorly understood and reports are limited to small case series.
Methods: Terms relevant to PVA were searched in radiology reports (2010-2022) with PVA presence confirmed by manual review.
Article Synopsis
- The University of Maryland, Baltimore's CURE program connects high school students in West Baltimore with STEM enrichment and community health training through a virtual curriculum aimed at preparing them as community health workers.
- A study conducted during the summer sessions of 2020 and 2021 revealed both successes and challenges, with scholars providing feedback on their experiences via surveys and qualitative interviews.
- Key findings indicated that while students appreciated the program, they struggled with navigation of virtual assignments and expressed a desire for more interactive, hands-on activities, prompting plans for future programming improvements.
Purpose: Co-creation of a citizen-science research initiative with a collaborative team of community members and university-based scientists to address regional disparities in maternal and fetal health outcomes for Black birthing people.
Description: Citizen scientist-led projects, where community members actively contribute to each discovery step, from setting a research agenda to collecting data and disseminating results, can extend community participatory research initiatives and help reconceptualize traditional research processes. The Pregnancy Collaborative is a citizen-science research initiative and one of nine scientific committees of The Pittsburgh Study-a longitudinal, community-partnered study designed to bring together collaborators to improve child thriving.
