RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to investigate internalized weight bias (IWB) and its relationship with pregnancy-related weight changes and postpartum depression. IWB is defined as the internalization of negative attitudes and beliefs about people due to their weight. Although IWB has been linked with weight change and depression in other samples, it has never been investigated in the postpartum period. METHODS: We used a cross-sectional survey design. Participants were 251 women recruited via social media who were living in the United States and 6 to 12 months postpartum. We calculated percentage of body weight gained during pregnancy and percentage of that weight that was retained postpartum from self-reported weights. Participants completed self-report measures of IWB (modified version of the Weight Bias Internalization Scale) and postpartum depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale). RESULTS: Gestational weight gain was not significantly associated with IWB or depression. Postpartum retention of gestational weight was significantly positively associated with both IWB and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, IWB mediated the relationship between postpartum weight retention and depressive symptoms. DISCUSSION: Postpartum retention of weight gained during pregnancy, but not weight gain itself, was related to both IWB and depressive symptoms. The relationship between pregnancy-related weight changes and psychological distress is complex. Sociocultural pressures to return to a prepregnancy physical state swiftly after giving birth may increase risk for IWB during a time in life when stress is already likely to be high, posing additional psychological risk. IWB existing prepregnancy may also worsen postpartum self-concept, contributing to depression. This is the first study, to our knowledge, to directly assess associations among gestational weight change, IWB, and postpartum depression. In addition to discussing weight in pregnancy, perinatal care providers could improve postpartum health by helping women set realistic, body-positive goals postpartum.

Interventions delivered by mobile devices (mHealth interventions) have the potential to increase access to weight management treatment in low-income populations. However, little prior research has examined effects of mHealth programming plus phone-based community health worker (CHW) support for weight management among public housing residents. For our intervention, we first interacted with a community advisory board to collect feedback on proposed intervention components. Transcripts from 5 advisory board meetings were coded and qualitative data was organized into themes. We used these data to inform our ongoing trial, in which public housing residents are randomized to one of three different groups: phone text messaging and digital self-weighing (mHealth only); mHealth intervention plus CHW behavioral phone counseling (mHealth+CHW); or assessment only to evaluate their differential effects on weight loss at 6- and 12-month follow-up. We will examine changes in diet and physical activity behaviors as well as potential mediating and moderating factors. Results of this trial could provide support for technology-based weight management interventions which may have greater potential for scalability and long-term dissemination than face-to-face programming. Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT04852042.

Little is known about how individuals with chronic pain use tailored internet-based interventions. This study is the first to compare self-reported skill module use to observed module access and to examine each of these in relationship to tailored recommendations to access specific content. Participants (N = 58) enrolled in a 10-week trial of the Pain EASE program, a tailored internet-based intervention that includes 10 pain self-management skill modules. Participants completed a "Self-Assessment," which was used to provide a "Personalized Plan" that encouraged accessing specific modules. Participants self-reported module use during weekly data collection telephone calls. Program log data were extracted to capture "observed" module use during the trial period. Findings indicated significantly greater self-reported use of the Pain EASE modules compared to observed access with log data. Further, log data revealed that participants accessed less than half of the modules recommended to them via tailoring.

PURPOSE: Epidemiological studies suggest that sedentary behavior is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality independent of meeting physical activity guidelines. However, limited evidence of this relationship is available from prospective interventions. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the combined effect of aerobic training and increasing nonexercise physical activity on body composition and cardiometabolic risk factors. METHODS: Obese adults (N = 45) were randomized to 6 months of aerobic training (AERO), aerobic training and increasing nonexercise physical activity (~3000 steps above baseline levels; AERO-PA), or a control (CON) group. The AERO and AERO-PA groups performed supervised aerobic training (3-4 times per week). The AERO-PA group wore Fitbit One accelerometers and received behavioral coaching to increase nonexercise physical activity. RESULTS: There was a larger increase in fitness in the AERO-PA group (0.27 L·min-1; confidence interval (CI), 0.16 to 0.40 L·min-1) compared with the AERO group (0.09 L·min-1; CI, -0.04 to 0.22 L·min-1) and the CON group (0.01; CI, -0.11 to 0.12 L·min-1). Although significant findings were not observed in the entire study sample, when the analysis was restricted to participants compliant to the intervention (n = 33), we observed significant reductions in waist circumference, percent weight loss, body fat, 2-h glucose, and 2-h insulin in comparison to the CON group (P < 0.05), but not the AERO group. Furthermore, linear regression models showed that change in steps was associated with 21% and 26% of the variation in percent weight loss and percent fat loss, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Increasing nonexercise physical activity with aerobic training may represent a viable strategy to augment the fitness response in comparison to aerobic training alone and has promise for other health indicators.

Internet-based interventions for chronic pain have demonstrated efficacy and may address access barriers to care. Participant characteristics have been shown to affect engagement with these programs; however, limited information is available about the relationship between participant characteristics and engagement with internet-based programs for self-management of chronic pain. The current study examined relationships between demographic and clinical characteristics and engagement with the Pain EASE program, a self-directed, internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for veterans with chronic low back pain (cLBP). Veterans with cLBP were enrolled in a 10 week trial of the Pain EASE program. Engagement measures included the number of logins, access to coping skill modules, and completed study staff-initiated weekly check-in calls. Regression analyses were conducted to identify significant predictors of engagement from hypothesized predictors (e.g., race/ethnicity, age, depressive symptom severity, and pain interference). Participants (N = 58) were 93% male, 60.3% identified as White, and had a mean age of 54.5 years. Participants logged into the program a median of 3.5 times, accessed a median of 2 skill modules, and attended a median of 6 check-in calls. Quantile regression revealed that, at the 50th percentile, non-White-identified participants accessed fewer modules than White-identified participants (p = .019). Increased age was associated with increased module use (p = .001). No clinical characteristics were significantly associated with engagement measures. White-identified race/ethnicity and increased age were associated with greater engagement with the Pain EASE program. Results highlight the importance of defining and increasing engagement in internet-delivered pain care.

OBJECTIVES: Our aim in this study was to determine whether a cognitive-behavioural therapy plus small changes lifestyle intervention can produce comparable improvements in insulin users vs patients not using insulin with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (T2D) and comorbid depressive or regimen-related distress (RRD) symptoms. METHODS: This study is a secondary analysis of Collaborative Care Management for Distress and Depression in Rural Diabetes Study, a randomized, controlled trial of a 16-session, severity-tailored cognitive-behavioural therapy plus small changes lifestyle intervention compared with usual care. Outcomes included glycated hemoglobin (A1C), regimen-related distress, depression, medication adherence and diabetes self-care. Our investigation provides 2 sets of contrasts: 1) insulin users in the intervention group compared with insulin users in the usual-care group and 2) insulin users compared with noninsulin users in the intervention group only. RESULTS: Of the 139 participants, 72 (52%) were using insulin at baseline and had significantly higher levels of A1C (10.2±2.1% vs 8.9±1.6%) and RRD (3.3±1.4 vs 2.8±1.1), and significantly poorer medication adherence (5.2±2.1 days/wk vs 5.5±1.7 days/wk). Intervention patients using insulin exhibited significantly greater reductions in RRD and marginally significant improvements in medication adherence and A1C compared with insulin users in usual care. Within the intervention group, changes in RRD, medication adherence and A1C did not differ significantly by insulin use. CONCLUSIONS: Tailored cognitive-behavioural therapy with a small-changes lifestyle intervention improved elevated RRD and A1C outcomes at least as effectively in insulin users as nonâinsulin users. Future powered studies need to address the role of insulin use in uptake and treatment outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) plus lifestyle counseling in primary care on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in rural adult patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and comorbid depressive or regimen-related distress (RRD) symptoms. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This study was a randomized controlled trial of a 16-session severity-tailored CBT plus lifestyle counseling intervention compared with usual care. Outcomes included changes in HbA1c, RRD, depressive symptoms, self-care behaviors, and medication adherence across 12 months. RESULTS: Patients included 139 diverse, rural adults (mean age 52.6 ± 9.5 years; 72% black; BMI 37.0 ± 9.0 kg/m2) with T2D (mean HbA1c 9.6% [81 mmol/mol] ± 2.0%) and comorbid depressive or distress symptoms. Using intent-to-treat analyses, patients in the intervention experienced marginally significant improvements in HbA1c (-0.92 ± 1.81 vs. -0.31 ± 2.04; P = 0.06) compared with usual care. However, intervention patients experienced significantly greater improvements in RRD (-1.12 ± 1.05 vs. -0.31 ± 1.22; P = 0.001), depressive symptoms (-3.39 ± 5.00 vs. -0.90 ± 6.17; P = 0.01), self-care behaviors (1.10 ± 1.30 vs. 0.58 ± 1.45; P = 0.03), and medication adherence (1.00 ± 2.0 vs. 0.17 ± 1.0; P = 0.02) versus usual care. Improvement in HbA1c correlated with improvement in RRD (r = 0.3; P = 0.0001) and adherence (r = -0.23; P = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS: Tailored CBT with lifestyle counseling improves behavioral outcomes and may improve HbA1c in rural patients with T2D and comorbid depressive and/or RRD symptoms.

OBJECTIVE: The current investigation extends ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and daily diary weight stigma research in internalised weight bias (IWB). This investigation used daily diaries to examine the relationship between IWB, mood, coping, body appreciation, exercise behaviours and eating behaviours. DESIGN: The study sample consisted of individuals who were overweight or obese (85% female) with MBMI = 36.0, SDBMI = 6.2. Participants completed a daily diary each evening and wore a Fitbit for 30 days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Participants reported on IWB, mood, coping, body appreciation, exercise behaviours and eating behaviours. RESULTS: Both within- and between-subjects IWB were significantly related to positive affect, negative affect, several coping responses, body appreciation, eating behaviours and the urge to avoid exercise. Exploratory analyses indicated that positive and negative affect mediated many of the associations between IWB and coping responses, body appreciation, and eating and exercise behaviours. CONCLUSION: This investigation provides evidence that IWB experiences have daily impacts on psychological well-being, body appreciation, coping, eating and exercise behaviours. Also, this study raises awareness about IWB and its potential impact on psychological well-being and health behaviours.

This investigation explored experiences of weight stigma using momentary, real-time diary assessments among adults seeking weight loss treatment. In total, 51 participants completed diary assessments of weight stigmatizing events and reported how they felt and coped with each incident. Experiencing stigma was significantly associated with fewer positive and greater negative emotions. There was a significant inverse relationship between using positive self-talk and feeling numb and a positive relationship between using isolation/avoidance coping and feeling depressed, ashamed, and less happy. The significant negative momentary impacts of weight stigma likely contribute to the long-term negative consequences of experiencing weight stigma.

BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that people living with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are also at greater risk for depression and distress. If left untreated, these comorbid mental health concerns can have long-lasting impacts on medical and physical health outcomes. DESIGN: This prospective trial randomized rural men and women with uncontrolled T2D (HbA1câ¯≥â¯7.0) who screened positive for co-morbid depressive (PHQ-2â¯>â¯3) or distress (DDS-2â¯>â¯3) symptoms in a primary medical care setting to receive either: 1) 16 sessions of cognitive and/or behavioral intervention tailored to symptom severity across 12â¯months along with routine medical care, or 2) usual primary care. Outcomes included change from baseline to 12-months in HbA1c, diabetes related distress, depressive symptoms, and diabetes self-care activities. BASELINE RESULTS: 139 patients (Mean ageâ¯=â¯52.6⯱â¯9.6â¯years) with T2D from impoverished rural communities were enrolled (almost half reporting annual income of <$10,000 per year). Baseline data indicated that patients were experiencing profoundly uncontrolled T2D of a long duration (Mean HbA1câ¯=â¯9.61⯱â¯2.0; Mean BMIâ¯=â¯37.0⯱â¯9.1; Mean durationâ¯=â¯11.2⯱â¯8.9â¯years) along with high levels of distress (Mean DDS-17 Scale Scoreâ¯=â¯2.5⯱â¯1.0) and/or depressive symptoms (Mean PHQ-9 Scale Scoreâ¯=â¯9.3⯱â¯6.1). CONCLUSION: Patients with uncontrolled T2D of long duration manifest complex co-morbidities including associated obesity, depressive symptoms and/or diabetes related distress. A behavioral intervention for T2D that concurrently targets symptoms of depression and distress may lead to more effective outcomes in this high-risk population. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT02863523.

OBJECTIVE: Symptoms of emotional distress related to diabetes have been associated with inadequate self-care behaviors, medication non-adherence, and poor glycemic control that may predispose patients to premature death. African American women, in whom diabetes is more common and social support is often insufficient, may be at particularly high risk. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of lowering diabetes-related emotional distress on glycemic control and associated behavioral correlates in rural African American women with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (T2D). DESIGN: Post-hoc analysis of prospective, randomized, controlled trial. SETTING: Rural communities in the southeastern United States. PATIENTS: 129 rural middle-aged African American women with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes (T2D)(A1C ≥ 7.0). PRIMARY INDEPENDENT VARIABLE: Diabetes-related distress. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes from baseline to 12-month follow-up in diabetes-related distress, and associated changes in medication adherence, self-care activities, self-efficacy, and glycemic control (A1C). RESULTS: Patients with a reduction in diabetes-related distress (n=79) had significantly greater improvement in A1C, medication adherence, self-care activities, and self-efficacy compared with those in whom diabetes distress worsened or was unchanged (n=50). Changes in distress were also significantly and inversely correlated with improvements in medication adherence, self-care activities, and self-efficacy. CONCLUSIONS: Among rural African American women, reductions in diabetes-related distress may be associated with lower A1C and improvements in self-efficacy, self-care behaviors, and medication adherence.

OBJECTIVES: The aims of the current study were twofold: 1) examine the effectiveness of an innovative three-step, stepped-care behavioral weight loss treatment, and 2) examine factors that contribute to poor weight loss outcomes and the need for more intensive treatment. METHODS: The total sample for the study consisted of 53 individuals (87% female) with MBMI=35.6, SDBMI=6.4. A three-step, stepped-care treatment approach was implemented over six months. Step 1 included the Diabetes Prevention Program manual adapted for self-administration augmented with monitoring technology shown to facilitate weight loss and participant accountability and engagement. Participants who were unsuccessful at achieving established weight loss goals received stepped-up treatments in 2-month increments beginning at month 2. The stepped progression included the addition of meal replacement at Step 2 and individual counseling concurrent with meal replacement at Step 3. RESULTS: Un-stepped and once stepped participants lost a clinically significant amount of weight (i.e., >5%), while twice stepped participants lost an insignificant amount of weight. Twice stepped participants were significantly lower in health literacy and self-monitoring frequency. CONCLUSIONS: In this investigation, approximately 60% of the participants were able to lose a clinically significant amount of weight utilizing a minimally intensive intervention with little additional support. Regular self-monitoring and high health literacy proved to be significant correlates of success.

Recent data has suggested that prolonged sedentary behavior is independent risk factor for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality independent of adequate amounts of moderate to vigorous physical activity. However, few studies have prospectively evaluated if exercise training and increasing non-exercise physical activity leads to greater reduction in cardiometabolic risk compared to aerobic training alone. The purpose of the Intervention Composed of Aerobic Training and Non-Exercise Physical Activity (I-CAN) study is to determine whether a physical activity program composed of both aerobic training (consistent with public health recommendations) and increasing non-exercise physical activity (3000 steps above baseline levels) leads to enhanced improvements in waist circumference, oral glucose tolerance, systemic inflammation, body composition, and fitness compared to aerobic training alone in obese adults (N=45). Commercially available accelerometers (Fitbits) will be used to monitor physical activity levels and behavioral coaching will be used to develop strategies of how to increase non-exercise physical activity levels. In this manuscript, we describe the design, rationale, and methodology associated with the I-CAN study.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of our study was two-fold: 1) adapt and test a social support measure specific to the experiences of African American women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); 2) examine its relationship to psychosocial measures. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: 200 rural African American women with uncontrolled T2DM participating in a randomized controlled trial completed surveys at baseline on their social support, empowerment, self-care, self-efficacy, depression and diabetes distress. Exploratory factor analysis and correlation analysis were conducted to test the psychometric properties of the Dunst Family Support Scale adapted for AA women with T2DM (FSS-AA T2DM) and its relationship with other psychosocial measures. RESULTS: The 16 items of the FSS-AA T2DM loaded onto three distinct factors: parent and spouse/partner support, community and medical support, and extended family and friends support. Reliability for the entire scale was good (Cronbach's α = .90) and was acceptable to high across these three factors (Cronbach's α of .86, .83, and .83 respectively). All three factors were significantly correlated with self-reported empowerment, self-care, self-efficacy, depression and diabetes distress, although the pattern was different for each factor. FSS-AA-T2DM showed good concurrent validity when compared with similar items on the Diabetes Distress Scale. CONCLUSION: The FSS-AA T2DM, a 16-item scale measuring social support among rural African American women with T2DM, is internally consistent and reliable. Findings support the utility of this screening tool in this population, although additional testing is needed with other groups in additional settings.
