Many of our Center scientists collaborated on a publication addressing behavioral intervention development.
Sarah Burkart, Alex McLain, Bridget Armstrong, Glenn Weaver, and Michael Beets co-authored “Balancing best practice and reality in behavioral intervention development: A survey of principal investigators funded by the National Institutes of Health” in Translational Behavioral Medicine. The article highlights the difficulty of developing an effective behavioral intervention, even under ideal conditions, and suggests ways to improve overall quality to advance the behavioral intervention field.

Dr. Armstrong is also an author on “Screen Time, Sociodemographic Factors, and Psychological Well-Being Among Young Children” in JAMA Network Open. The publication includes screen time data from pre-, mid-, and post-pandemic years. The authors address screen time’s negative effect on children’s psychological well-being and how screen time was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
