Item Aaliyah Jenkins(The Texas Scientist, 2020) The Texas ScientistItem Bridging the gap: Investigating the matches/mismatches of nutrition messages between the classroom and cafeteria of AISD high schools(2014-05-06) Cayabyab, Aileen; Green, PennyThis research investigates the question: What is the relationship between the nutrition information delivered in classrooms and the food options offered in cafeterias at Austin ISD high schools? From 3 high schools, 6 health-affiliated teachers and 1 food service manager participated. The instructional material of the teachers and cafeteria food menus (March and April) were examined via content analysis. Coding was based on the food options that teachers explicitly and implicitly identified as healthy/unhealthy, which were sorted into the categories: Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, Protein, and Dairy. This was then compared to the food options on the menus. Interviews were also conducted to gain insight on the participants’ perspectives on the nutrition education curriculum, cafeteria food and school food policies. It was found that there were matches: the presence of more fresh food options than fried, more whole grains than refined, and all low-fat dairy products. However, there were also mismatches: daily offerings of burgers, fries and pizza, a lack of diversity in fruits and vegetables, and a lack of interaction opportunities between the teacher and food service staff. An underlying reason for these differences is because each department acts independently and holds different goals and objectives.Item Consent Form: Health4Kids(2017) Parra-Medina, DeborahHealth4Kids is an obesity management program that uses family counseling, text messages, and newsletters to encourage healthier eating and increased physical activity in overweight and obese Latino children in San Antonio, Texas. Through pediatric clinics at the University Health System, researchers will work with child-parent pairs to test and evaluate the efficacy of intervention strategies including family counseling (in-clinic and phone) and culturally tailored text messages and newsletters. The research team will measure the impact of the program on body composition, insulin, glucose and cholesterol levels, and on health behavior changes like physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption.Item Consent Form: Health4Kids (Spanish version)(2017) Parra-Medina, DeborahHealth4Kids is an obesity management program that uses family counseling, text messages, and newsletters to encourage healthier eating and increased physical activity in overweight and obese Latino children in San Antonio, Texas.

Lamy: Medications and Aging Patients(Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, 1983) Hogg Foundation for Mental HealthItem Current Anti-Ageing Research and Its Potential Implications for Ageism(2020-05) McCoy, JordanAlthough still in its infancy, anti-ageing research has both breadth and depth. Currently, hundreds of researchers are interested in delaying the ageing process and extending lifespan, and there are already several theories of how it could be accomplished. Metformin, telomeres, Rapamycin, the GH pathway, stem cells, and nutrition are all related to ageing and could be manipulated in order to help significantly extend the lifespan. The first part of this thesis is dedicated to summarizing current anti-ageing research. Ageism is discrimination or prejudice against someone based on their age. Although not as widely discussed as racism or sexism, it is just as common and can have many damaging effects. Older people see discrimination in the workplace, poorer treatment in healthcare, and a general low status in society due to ageism. The causes of ageism are complex. Studies indicate that fear of old age and death, common stereotypes, and lack of visibility for older people all contribute to ageist behaviors. The second part of this thesis is dedicated to investigating the causes and effects of ageism. Anti-ageing research could potentially lead to an extended lifespan, which would impact many areas of life. For instance, an extended lifespan would likely change how age is viewed in society, impacting ageism. The final part of this thesis is dedicated to exploring ideas of how an extended lifespan would alter ageism.Item Curriculum(2021) ¡Miranos!Item Feeding Strategies(2021) ¡Miranos!Item Feeding Strategies(2021) ¡Miranos!Item Food for Growing Children(University of Texas at Austin, 1914-06-20) Rich, Jessie P.Item Health4Kids: Adverse Event Form(2022) Latino Research InstituteHealth4Kids adverse event participant questionnaire for children (in English and Spanish).
