Developmental trajectory of neural activity underlying motor control differs by sequence complexity and motor stage

NeuroImage
Primary motor areas in the brain mature relatively early in development, yet the control of complex movements improves through early adulthood. Neural oscillations in higher-order regions are refined in adolescence and contribute to executive processes ...

How does the Kids SIPsmartER program impact the sugar‐sweetened beverage intake of students: An investigation beyond total treatment effect in randomized controlled trial

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study develops and empirically estimates a structural framework to decompose the causal pathways of multilevel behavioral interventions targeting adolescent health behaviors. We apply this framework to the Kids SIPsmartER (KSS) program, a 6‐month, school‐based intervention evaluated through a clustered randomized controlled trial in rural
