"My body is amazing from the bottom to the top" - An RCT study testing two positive body image media micro-interventions for young children aged 4-6 years.

This study presents a fully powered RCT testing the effectiveness and acceptability of two positive body image online media-based micro-interventions designed for young children.

Children and their accompanying parent attended two data collection sessions, approximately a week apart.

Evaluating the effectiveness and acceptability of two positive body image media micro-interventions among children aged 4-6 years old - a study protocol.

Background: Children's online media perpetuates appearance idealised images and can negatively impact the way children feel about their own and other people's bodies (e.g., weight bias) at a young age.

Many distressed couples seek community-based relationship education but don't benefit from it.

Objective: The objective of this research was to characterize pretreatment relationship functioning among low-income couples seeking community-based relationship education (RE) and determine whether treatment outcomes differ based on this dimension.

Background: RE programs were developed with the goal of preventing future deterioration among currently satisfied couples, but there is evidence to suggest that distressed couples are seeking community-based RE to improve their relationship.

Method: Data were drawn from the Parents and Children Together study, a randomized controlled trial of RE with a sample of 1,595 low-income couples.

Cultural Factors Predict Positive Caregiving Appraisal Among Racially and Ethnically Diverse Dementia Family Caregivers.

Positive caregiving appraisal is strongly linked to health among caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD).

One-hundred thirty-six racially and ethnically diverse ADRD caregivers completed a cross-sectional survey.

'Plan Z and then off the edge of a cliff': An interpretative phenomenological analysis of mothers' experience of living with a slow-to-heal Caesarean wound.

Background: Studies indicate that complex postsurgical wound healing can significantly alter biopsychological markers responsible for recovery. Yet, there is a lack of research investigating women's experience of living with slow-to-heal Caesarean birth wounds. This is an important area of investigation considering the increase of factors associated with surgical births and poor wound healing in the UK and globally.
