Pe-diatrics. 2014; http://dx.doi.org/10.1542/peds.2013-3703.Abstract. The use of mobile devices inpublic places is growing exponentially,but the effect on non-users has not beenwidely researched. This direct, observa-tional, naturalistic study coded the mobiledevice use patterns of 55 caregiverseating with one or more children in afast-food restaurant in one of 15 neigh-borhoods in the greater Boston, MA,metropolitan area at a single time point.Locations were selected to represent awide array of caregivers and children.Observations were performed on anyadult accompanied by one or more chil-dren 0 to 10 years of age between lunchand dinner. Trained researchers anony-mously observed using anthropologicalmethods of detailed behaviors, sequences,and consequences on groups that sat ata nearby table close enough to recordfacial expressions and tones of voice for10 to 40 minutes. Field notes were thentranscribed and dominant themes (ab-sorption, frequency, duration, modality ofdevice use) were identified by investi-gator triangulation. Results were reportedin a descriptive fashion. A total of 40 (53%)caregivers used mobile devices. The useof a device continually (n¼16, 40%) wasconsistent with a high degree of de-creased responsiveness to the child, lowinteraction and situational absorption,and high confrontation. When the devicewas used (n¼4) with shared involvement,communication was higher. Further studyis necessary to understand effects oncaregiverechild relationship and interac-tion.

Resistant to the recession: Low-incomeadults’ maintenance of cooking andaway-from-home eating behaviorsduring times of economic turbulence.Mith LP, Ng SW, Popkin BM. Am J PublicHealth. 2014;104(5):840-846.Abstract. In the United States, low-income and socioeconomic statuscomprise highest risk for obesity andconsumption of a nonehealth-promotingdiet. This secondary analysis of theAmerican Time Use Survey (nationallyrepresentative household sample esti-mating time use collected by computer-assisted telephone interviews) usedpooled data from 2003-2011 from 118,635households to examine trends in foodconsumption patterns in relation to eco-nomic recession factors (specifically2007-2008 dramatic rise in food costs).Specific outcome measures from theinterview data included time spentcooking and eating away from home.Variables included age, race/ethnicity,education, household composition, em-ployment, and income. Data wereanalyzed using multiple imputationmodels to examine trends over time fol-lowed by multinomial logistic regressionfor association. The results showed thateven high-level unemployment did notincrease home cooking, particularly whennot present prior to recession. The largestincreases in time spent were directed

The effects of probiotic bacteria onglycaemic control in overweight menand women: A randomised controlledtrial.Ivey KL, Hodgson JM, Kerr DA, Lewis JR,Thompson PL, Prince RL. Eur J Clin Nutr.2014;68(4):447-452.Abstract. Obesity increases the risk ofmetabolic syndrome and poor glycemiccontrol, but the role of probiotics inreducing hyperglycemic risk is unclear.This randomized controlled trial exam-ined four interventions during a 6-weekdouble-blinded parallel study design toanalyze the effect of two specific probioticbacteria strains (L. acidophilus La5, B.animalis subsp lactic Bb12) on fastingglycemic indicators (glucose, insulin, gly-cated hemoglobin, calculated insulinresistance) in 156 overweight, nondia-betic Australian adults (mean age 67years, >55 years of age, mean body massindex 31). After a 3-week washout period,groups were assigned to probiotic yogurtwith probiotic or placebo capsules, andcontrol milk with probiotic or placebocapsules. All interventions were providedto the participants and consumed athome 30 minutes before the first mealof each day. A semi-quantitative validatedfood frequency questionnaire was com-pleted along with a validated physicalactivity scale. Groups were compared us-ing multivariate regression followed byinteraction effects of selected variables.Compared with placebo, results indicatedthe probiotic capsules trended to a higherfasting glucose concentration with nochange observed with probiotic yogurt.No other trends were observed for otherfasting glycemic indicators for theseparticular bacterial strains.

Dysphagia inold-oldwomen: Prevalenceas determined according to self-reportand the 3-ounce water swallowing test.González-Fernández M, Humbert I, WinegradH, Cappola AR, Fried LP. J Am Soc Geriatr.2014;62(4):716-720.Abstract. Dysphagia is high risk formalnutrition, particularly in elderlypeople, but may be unrecognized dueto gradual onset in this population. Thisphysiological interventional sub-studyconducted in the metropolitan Balti-more, MD, area assessed 47 community-dwelling elderly women (aged 85 to 94years, mean age 89 years) enrolled in theWomen’s Health and Aging Study (pro-spective, population-based cohort) fordysphagia during an in-home study visitto examine the relationship betweenself-report and direct observation ofdysphagia. Dsyphagia was assessed bya 13-item swallowing questionnaire, afrailty score from the CardiovascularHealth Study, and a triple administrationof a 3-oz water validated swallowingtest. Participants drank the water samplein a normal manner while being videorecorded, then asked to voice “ah”immediately after each swallow trial torate voice quality and note visible/self-reported characteristics. Data wereanalyzed by descriptive statistics (pro-portions) along with t tests, two-sampletests of proportions, and Fisher exacttests. Results showed that at least 72%(n¼34) of the women failed at least onewater swallowing test, with the mostcommon issues of coughing, throatclearing, and wet voice. The least-frequent symptoms were choking andinability to finish the water sample.Women at risk were more likely to havemore comorbid conditions, a history ofcancer, and a higher frailty score. Thesmall sample size limits applicationwithout further research. Funding forinvestigator support of this study wasprovided by the National Institutes ofHealth.

The joint relationship between orga-nizational design factors and HR prac-tice factors on direct care workers’ jobsatisfaction and turnover intent.Kim J, Wehbi H, DelliFraine JL, Brannon D.Health Care Manage Rev. 2014;39(2):174-184.Abstract. Human resource (HR) practices,particularly training and communication,have been linked to job satisfaction in-dicators. This study was conducted as partof the Better Jobs Better Care (BJBC)demonstration project (4-year direct careworkforce development initiative fundedby non-profit organizations 2003-2006)in 58 long-term care facilities (34 skillednursing, 24 assisted living) in five states(Iowa, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsyl-vania, Vermont) to examine the relation-ship between HR practices (training,horizontal communication, vertical com-munication) and organizational structure(centralization, formalization, span ofcontrol) on direct care workers’ (DCWs)job satisfaction and turnover intent. TheBCBJ project developed and implementeda cohort of activities (peer mentoring,team coaching, supervisor training, care-giver skill training, policy interventions)to improve work environment andDCW retention. Data were collected bycomputerized and paper surveys givento three levels of workers (clinical man-agers, supervisors, DCWs) pre- and post-intervention. Latent class analysis wasused to analyze data and group facilitiesinto three “styles”: organic, mechanistic,minimalist. Multivariate regression wasthen applied to test the hypothesis. Thefinal survey sample of 1,303 DCWs (40%>45 years old, 92% women, 63.2% white,mean skilled nursing wage $10.70/h,mean assisted living wage $8.90/h, 89.6%insurance benefits) showed the highestlevel of DCW satisfaction was found infacilities that used an organic “style”which favored lower formalization, de-centralized structures, and HR practices.No direct funding was identified for thismanuscript; authors were affiliated withuniversity academic health policy andpublic health departments.

The debate over the role ofsugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) inobesity continues, but the ethics ofimplementing laws and policies to enactpurchase and sale are complicated.This policy analysis explores the ethical

July 2014 Volume 114 Number 7

implications of three obesity preventionstrategies: restricting SSB sales in publicschools, implementing significant taxa-tion to raise SSB price, and preventinguse of Supplemental Nutrition AssistanceProgram (SNAP) vouchers to purchaseSSBs. A comprehensive analysis of publichealth potential initiatives was evalu-ated. Six public health considerationswere presented to direct moral andethical government obesity preventionpolicy development: achieve publichealth benefit, minimize meaningfulburdens and harms, reduce morallyrelevant inequalities and promote jus-tice, ensure fair procedures andaccountability, align government policiesand programs with evidence-basedagency guidelines, and recognize sym-bolic relevance to unique organizations(ie, Veterans Administration, publicschools). The policy for sale of SSB inschools should align with the NationalSchool Lunch Program policy as well asthe Dietary Guidelines for Americans,neither of which recommend SSB con-sumption. Taxation was discussed moreas a fairness and right to accessperspective. The ban of SSB sales to SNAPparticipants needs to align with thebroader Dietary Guidelines expectationson a national level for the entire popu-lation.

The face-to-face (FF) interviewis considered the gold standard in surveymethodology. This comparison analysisinvestigated the response patterns be-tween FF and self-administered (SA) sur-vey methods using a randomized samplefrom matched Danish population samplesusing identical questions on 14 selectedhealth indicators. A unique registrationnumber allowed cross-validation anddatabase information sharing from othersources. The FF was completed in thehome by professional interviewers.

Abstract. Childhood obesity continues tobe of concern in the United States,particularly in rural areas. This quasi-experimental, pre-post, school-basedintervention in four K-5 (kindergartenthrough fifth grade) elementary schoolsin rural Kentucky evaluated the effect of a2011 4-month program in four areas:physical education, health education,family/community involvement, andschool wellness policy. Baseline andmonthly measures were assessed byintermittent 4-day pedometer readingsand prior day dietary recalls. Datacollection was coordinated by three full-time lifestyle coaches. Total step countswere recorded and compared to 2008sex-age specific graduated step indexlevels. Diet recalls were scored using fiveitems from the School Physical Activityand Nutrition (SPAN) questionnaire. Datawere compared using repeated measuresanalysis of variance followed by linearregression and category frequencies. Re-sults were obtained from 1,508 children(54% male, mean age 8.3 years). At base-line, less than 2% of children met physicalactivity minimal recommendations of11,000 to 13,000 steps/day and 14.8% meta goal of three or more vegetables/day. Atthe end of the study, 5% met physical ac-tivity and 26% met nutrition goals(P<0.01). The long-term sustainabilityand cost-effectiveness of this interventionis unknown. Funding was provided by the2010-2013 Carol M. White Physical Edu-cation Program Grant from the USDepartment of Education’s Office for Safeand Drug Free Schools.

The Go4it is a long-termmultidisciplinary group treatment (n¼8to 12) cognitive behavior strategydeveloped in the Netherlands thatrandomly assigned adolescents (n¼122,mean age 14.5 years, mean body massindex 33) during 2006-2008 to eithercontrol (n¼51, voluntarily home sessionwith a dietitian) or 90-minute sessions(n¼7, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart in anoutpatient clinic setting) to promotehealthy lifestyle and energy balance.The intervention group had four addi-tional “booster” sessions at weeks 6, 14,26, and 36. This report compares theoutcome of each group at 6 and 18months of follow-up for outcome mea-sures of body composition, waistcircumference, dual-energy x-ray ab-sorptiometry, oral glucose tolerance,insulin resistance, and blood pressure.Groups were compared by t test and c2

test with linear regression models usingan intention-to-treat analysis. Drop-outrate was 44%. Results showed a signif-icant sustained weight and blood pres-sure reduction for intervention groupfor western ethnicity (n¼36), but notfor non-western ethnicity (n¼35, pre-dominantly Turkish, Moroccan descent).Weight loss was continuous even be-tween time points; peer groupsremained intact during the trial.

JOURNAL OF THE ACADE

initiative with 35% less meat, >75%organic produce, use of local seasonalfoods, and higher intake (whole grains,fruits, vegetables, nuts) mirroring histori-cal regional intake. This environmentalanalysis estimated the effects (local,regional, global) of three dimensions (dietcomposition, local/imported commodities,organic/conventional produce) to calculatethe potential protective benefit. A conse-quential life-cycle assessment (LCA)method was used with a functional unitof 1 person year’s diet expressed asnumber of kilograms in manufacturedfood/beverage products. Sixteen envi-ronmental impact categories were usedto group results. The Danish LCA and theEcoinvent databases were used tocompare NND and conventional Danishdiet patterns using three implementa-tion scenarios. Monetary and environ-mental changes were quantified. Resultsshowed the greatest NND savings werefound in 10 of 16 categories. Disadvan-tages were found in six categories, pri-marily in the need for high amountsof organic produce (84% compared to8% for conventional). NND socioeco-nomic saving was estimated as 266euros/person/yr but was reduced to 42euro/person/year when balanced withdisadvantages.

Chapter2, “Self-Compassionate Weight Loss,” de-tails the ACT approach to change,including self-compassion vs self-dislike,mindful awareness, and the concept ofthe “enduring you.” Chapter 3, “Don’tChange Your Thoughts, Change YourBehavior,” addresses the “diabolical duo”of self-sabotaging and self-evaluatingthoughts, and provides exercises forrecognizing and overcoming negativethoughts, reasons, and self-imposed rules.Chapter 4, “Choosing Healthy Living EvenWhen It’s Hard,” discusses emotions,including how avoiding them can lead toemotional eating, and encourages readersto “act with willingness” by deliberatelyapproaching discomfort in the service ofdoing something important. Chapter 5,“Using Values to Build Healthy Habits,” isabout the ACT approach to behaviorchange, which involves clarifying one’svalues, knowing what’s personallyimportant, and taking action to live inalignment with those values. Chapter 6,“Putting It All Together,” provides a tem-plate for using all of the book’s skillstogether, and how to tell the differencebetween living a values-based life andveering off course.
