Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between work-related, individual, and environmental factors and self-reported standing time during the workday.

Design: Cross-sectional study design.

Setting: Participants were recruited from a large, public university in the southeastern United States.

Ecological Influences on Employees' Workplace Sedentary Behavior: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between ecological factors and occupational sedentary behavior (SB).

Design: Cross-sectional online survey.

Setting: Participants were employees recruited from a large, public university in the Southeastern United States from August to November 2016.

"Drunkorexia": Understanding eating and physical activity behaviors of weight conscious drinkers in a sample of college students.

Objective: Behaviors of weight conscious drinkers (BWCD) include disordered eating, excessive physical activity (PA), and heavy episodic drinking. Considering that approximately 25% of the college students report BWCD, it is important to investigate what characteristics increase the likelihood of college students engaged in BWCD for both moderate and vigorous PAs.

Participants: A total of 510 college students were recruited from a large, public southeastern university.

Using the Theory of Planned Behavior to predict HPV vaccination intentions of college men.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to test Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs in predicting human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination behavioral intentions of vaccine-eligible college men.

Participants: Participants were unvaccinated college men aged 18-26 years attending a large public university in the southeastern United States during Spring 2015.

Methods: A nonexperimental, cross-sectional study design was employed.

Expanding Cervical Cancer Screening and Treatment in Tanzania: Stakeholders' Perceptions of Structural Influences on Scale-Up.

Unlabelled: Tanzania has the highest burden of cervical cancer in East Africa. This study aims to identify perceived barriers and facilitators that influence scale-up of regional and population-level cervical cancer screening and treatment programs in Tanzania. Convenience sampling was used to select participants for this qualitative study among 35 key informants.

The diversion of stimulant medications among a convenience sample of college students with current prescriptions.

Diversion is defined as the unlawful channeling of regulated pharmaceuticals from legal sources to the illicit marketplace. Persons with legal prescriptions often give away or sell their medications to others. The misuse of prescription stimulant medications continues to be a problem on college campuses and a need to understand how students are obtaining stimulant medications exists.

Gender differences in college leisure time physical activity: application of the theory of planned behavior and integrated behavioral model.

Objective: National data consistently report that males participate in leisure time physical activity (LTPA) at higher rates than females. This study expanded previous research to examine gender differences in LTPA of college students using the theory of planned behavior (TPB) by including 2 additional constructs, descriptive norm and self-efficacy, from the integrated behavioral model.

Participants: Participants were college students (N = 621) from a large public university in the southeastern United States.

Social modeling influences and alcohol consumption during the first semester of college: a natural history study.

The authors examine both the alcohol consumption pattern of freshmen students during their first semester and the degree to which social modeling of peer behavior impacts consumption. A total of 534 students, residing on campus, were prospectively examined at four 30-day intervals. Data were evaluated on the basis of age, gender, and the effects of time using generalized estimating equations (GEEs).

Challenges and recommendations to enforcement of alcohol policies on college campuses: an administrator's perspective.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine challenges and recommendations (identified by college administrators) to enforcing alcohol policies implemented at colleges in the southeastern United States.

Methods: Telephone interviews were conducted with 71 individuals at 21 institutions.

Results: Common challenges included inconsistent enforcement, mixed messages received by students, and students' attitudes toward alcohol use.

Alcohol use and high-risk sexual behavior among collegiate women: a review of research on alcohol myopia theory.

Unlabelled: A review of current English literature in the areas of high-risk alcohol use and sexual behavior was conducted from September 2007 to December 2008.

Objective: The purpose was to specifically review studies that used alcohol myopia theory (AMT) as the theoretical perspective from which they were evaluated and analyzed.

Participants: Collegiate women were the population of interest in the review.

Validation of the Drinking Context Scale (DCS-9) for use with non-adjudicated first-year college students.

The Drinking Context Scale (DCS-9) has been used to measure the impact of drinking during social, emotional, and situational contexts. Psychometric properties remain unevaluated in a population of non-adjudicated first-year college students in the southeast. Liseral 8.

Validation of the College Alcohol Problem Scale-revised (CAPS-r) for use with non-adjudicated first-year students.

First-year students in transition to college are at increased risk for consuming greater amounts of alcohol and are subject to subsequent alcohol-related problems. The 8-item College Alcohol Problem Scale-revised (CAPS-r) has been used to measure alcohol-related problems in adjudicated undergraduates and psychology majors. However, structural validity of the CAPS-r has not been examined in a general first-year student population.

Drinking likelihood, alcohol problems, and peer influence among first-year college students.

Excessive alcohol consumption is a predominant health concern on college campuses in the United States. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to examine the predictive values of demographic factors in relation to alcohol subscales (Drinking Context Scale, College Alcohol Problems Scale-revised, and Social Modeling Scale) with the outcome of number of drinking days in the past 30 days among a sample (n = 224) of first-year college students. The final model predicted 37.

Prevalence of impaired driving behaviors in a diverse, rural, southern middle school.

Little research has been reported on the risky behaviors of pre-driving adolescents revolving around alcohol use, in particular impaired driving behaviors, which in general have been shown to be higher in rural areas. This study investigated the prevalence of drinking while driving and riding with a drinking driver among 290 middle school students in a Mississippi Delta area middle school. Just under half (45.

Drinking locations prior to impaired driving among college students: implications for prevention.

Drinking and driving is perhaps the most serious problem associated with heavy drinking among college students in the United States. In this study, the authors examined drinking locations prior to impaired driving in a college student sample. They administered the Impaired Driving Assessment to 91 college students identified as high risk for drinking and driving.
