The inventory was evaluated in 3 sequential studies to test: (a) face validity, (b) convergent validity, and (c) predictive validity. Expert judgment, correlational analyses, and factor analyses were techniques applied to collected WCI data.Results: After statistical evaluation (n = 261) of fit to each dimension, the WCI was shortened to 20 items that demonstrated convergent validity. Further use of confirmatory factor analyses and exploratory structural equation model in a large sample study (n = 531) provided additional support for the inventory's convergent validity. Through correlation analyses to theoretically related concepts predictive validity was established.Conclusions: The WCI is a valid, applicable, and reliable scale for use in HWC research and practice. It is an instrument that will aid HWC practitioners and researchers as a central outcome measure for their practice.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251320573"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843568/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrating LM content into health professions education, such as doctor of occupational and physical therapy programs, is critically important to empower future clinicians to adequately implement therapeutic lifestyle interventions to improve their patient's health outcomes. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine Partial Academic Pathway was developed to facilitate the integration of LM content into health professions programs. In this article, we describe the Partial Academic Pathway pilot, which began in the fall of 2022 and concluded in the fall of 2023. In addition, we describe the role of two health professions, occupational therapy and physical therapy, in health promotion and management of lifestyle-related conditions. Finally, we provide an example of how LM competencies were implemented into a doctor of physical therapy curriculum. As the students learning about LM enter the workforce, they have the potential to support their patients' health through therapeutic lifestyle interventions while reducing healthcare costs and improving patient satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251321418"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11840824/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Food literacy, the knowledge and skillset to make informed health behaviors, has been identified as a critical influence in disease prevention. This mixed-method experimental study evaluated the Food Literacy Boot Camp's effectiveness, feasibility, and likeability in promoting healthy lifestyle choices, including diet, physical activity, food preparation, and food safety skills among adolescents. Outcomes were assessed using the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education (EFNEP) 6th - 12th Grade EFNEP Youth Questionnaire, distributed before and after the intervention. Qualitative methods assessed likeability. Following the program, participants had statistically significant improvements in sugar-sweetened beverage intake (P = 0.004), healthy eating choices when dining out (P = 0.002), physical activity (P = 0.010), hand washing (P = 0.028), inclination to wash fruits and vegetables (P = 0.008) and using separate cutting boards for raw meats and fresh produce (P = 0.046). Four major qualitative themes emerged: (1) Comprehensive Health and Wellness Education, (2) Practical Skill Development, (3) Knowledge and Behavior Change, and (4) Successful Student Engagement and Positive Endorsement. Overall, the Food Literacy Boot Camp successfully improved participants' food literacy skills.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251319254"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11826820/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143434092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many CDR competencies align with the interventional and operational components necessary to deliver and direct effective Lifestyle Medicine (LM) and Culinary Medicine (CM) initiatives. Capitalizing on the skills and expertise of RDNs trained in LM and CM is an effective strategy to address the Quintuple Aim of better health care outcomes, lower cost, improved patient satisfaction, improved provider wellbeing and the advancement of health equity. Successful examples like Cooking with Plants, Trinity Health Ann Arbor's virtual CM series, showcase the positive impact of RDN-led CM initiatives on culinary literacy and health behavior change. This article provides an overview of the Cooking with Plants program and practical guidance for initiating similar programs at other institutions. Guidance includes strategies for assessing community needs, identifying funding sources, engaging stakeholders, and developing and evaluating curriculum.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251316845"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11806448/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143383633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study applied a mixed methods approach to better understand attitudes about making lifestyle changes and current dietary and physical activity behaviors among cancer patients with MetS at a cancer center and to explore the suitability of brief lifestyle questionnaires to help providers understand their patients' lifestyle attitudes and habits. Qualitative interviews were used to obtain patients' perspectives about lifestyle changes, and 3 quantitative questionnaires-the Readiness Ruler, Rate Your Plate, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF)-were used to measure patients' readiness for lifestyle change, dietary habits, and physical activity levels, respectively. Nineteen patients participated in interviews, and 18 patients completed the questionnaires. Interview findings indicated that patients generally prioritized lifestyle changes over medication use, desired collaboration and coordination between multidisciplinary care teams and patient, and desired tailored interventions and practical implementation strategies to manage MetS. Questionnaire findings indicated that most patients agreed with the importance of lifestyle changes and expressed confidence in making them, reporting healthy food choices and high physical activity levels. A multidisciplinary approach tailored to patients' readiness, preferences, and constraints is recommended for effective MetS management in patients with cancer.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276251319262"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11806445/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143383629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
