“…Previous research is supportive of these findings (Dunton et al, 2011;Perry et al, 2011;Cleland et al, 2008;McCurdy et al, 2010), with some research yielding a positive relationship between and time spent in moderate to vigorous to physical activity in outdoors environments (Jones et al, 2009b;Cooper et al, 2010). However, when examining the association between the variables in this present study, no significant relationship (not presented) was found for moderate to vigorous to physical activity and time spent outdoors.…”

CURVE is the Institutional Repository for Coventry University ABSTRACTMany children fail to meet physical activity (PA) guidelines for health benefits. PA behaviours are complex and depend on numerous interrelated factors. The study aims to develop current understanding of how children from low Socioeconomic environments within the UK, use their surrounding built environments for PA by using advanced technology. The environment was assessed in 96 school children (7 -9 years) using GPS monitoring (Garmin Forerunner, 305). In a subsample of 46 children, the environment and physical activity was assessed using an integrated GPS and heart rate monitor. The percentage of time spent indoor, outdoor, in green and non-green environments along with time spent in MVPA in indoor and outdoor environments were assessed. A 2-by-2 repeated measures ANCOVA, controlling for BMI, BF%, assessed environmental differences. The findings show that 42% of children from deprived wards of Coventry fail to meet PA guidelines, of which 43% was accumulated during school. Children engaged in more MVPA outdoor than indoor environments (p <0.01) and a greater amount of time was spent in non-green environments (p <0.01). Increased time outdoors was negatively associated with BF%. In conclusion, outdoor environments are important for health enhancing PA and reducing fatness in deprived and ethnic children.

“…The internal consistency (correlation between items within a scale) was assessed in four studies (Dunton et al 2011Huh et al 2014;Ansell et al 2015). As demonstrated in Table 2, levels ranged from questionable to excellent (George & Mallery, 2003).…”

A systematic review of the psychometric properties, usability and clinical impacts of mobile mood-monitoring applications in young people

Background. Mobile mood-monitoring applications are increasingly used by mental health providers, widely advocated within research, and a potentially effective method to engage young people. However, little is known about their efficacy and usability in young populations. Results. We reviewed 25 articles. Studies on the psychometric properties of mobile mood-monitoring applications were sparse, but indicate questionable to excellent internal consistency, moderate concurrent validity and good usability. Participation rates ranged from 30% to 99% across studies, and appeared to be affected by methodological factors (e.g. payments) and individual characteristics (e.g. IQ score). Mobile mood-monitoring applications are positively perceived by youth, may reduce depressive symptoms by increasing emotional awareness, and could aid in the detection of mental health and substance use problems. There was very limited evidence on potential negative impacts.Conclusions. Evidence for the use of mood-monitoring applications in youth is promising but limited due to a lack of high-quality studies. Future work should explicate the effects of mobile mood-monitoring applications on effective selfregulation, clinical outcomes across disorders and young people's engagement with mental health services. Potential negative impacts in this population should also be investigated, as the adult literature suggests that application use could potentially increase negativity and depression symptoms.

“…Dunton et al [32] described physical activity patterns in relation to both location and social context (i.e., number of family and/ or friends nearby). Beets et al [33] found that children were most physically active with other children of their same age in outdoor settings by using a photovoice methodology.…”

Current Trends in Childhood Obesity Research

Childhood obesity is a global health issue. To identify research trends and gaps of childhood obesity research, we reviewed MEDLINE publications from January 2011 to May 2012 and qualitatively analyzed the major domains and themes of research focus. Major domains are: measurements, obesity correlates, prevention interventions, treatment interventions, and policy issues. Key advances and innovations are highlighted within each domain. Emerging areas include the advancement of measurement methodologies that simultaneously capture individual and contextual information across time, analysis of policy problems, and the development of multilevel, community interventions. However, few effective and sustainable interventions are exemplified; some strategies are promising. Recommendations for future research includes the adoption of a systems approach that integrates individual, environmental, and policy change, the scale up and diffusion of innovations, studies of intended and unintended policy impacts, and the design and testing of effective social marketing strategies.
