A culturally tailored community gardening approach to improving physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, and psychological health among African American women: A pre-post feasibility study [PDF]

Health Promotion Perspectives
Background: African American (AA) women participate in low levels of physical activity (PA), under consume fruits and vegetables (FV), and experience poor psychological health. Increasing evidence suggests community gardening as an approach to positively

Measuring Skin Carotenoids Using Reflection Spectroscopy in a Low-Income School Setting [PDF]

, 2021
Dietary behavior change is difficult to accurately measure in a low-income youth population. Objective tools to measure fruit and vegetable consumption without relying on self-report present the opportunity to do this with less respondent burden and bias.

Vegetable‐enriched bread: Pilot and feasibility study of measurement of changes in skin carotenoid concentrations by reflection spectroscopy as a biomarker of vegetable intake [PDF]

, 2023
Globally, bread is a staple food and thus a promising vehicle for the delivery of nutrients from vegetables including carotenoids. The aim of this pilot/feasibility, pre–post experimental study was to measure skin (Veggie Meter™) and plasma carotenoid ...
