This study will identify predatory beverage allocation behaviors used by men to facilitate women’s intoxication and elucidate the decision-making process across a night of drinking that culminates in a man having sex with a woman who is too intoxicated to consent or passed out (i.e., incapacitated rape). This research can inform the advancement of nuanced and targeted prevention, intervention and risk reduction programming to reduce incapacitated rape on our college campuses.
The causes of the current high prevalence of overweight and obesity among children are not clearly known. Schools have been implicated in the causal chain to high child obesity prevalence.
This study will inform physical activity interventions for Hispanic and Latina mothers, who are among the least physically active and at high risk of poor cardiometabolic health, to decrease cardiometabolic risk factors, inform best practice, and advocate for policy changes to enhance the health of undeserved communities.

People with mobility impairments (PMI) are disproportionately affected by diet-related health-compromising conditions such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and some cancers compared to those without mobility impairments. PMI anecdotally report numerous barriers in the physical and social environment that lead to poor dietary habits; however, currently, there is no clear guiding model or specific instrument to operationalize barriers and environmental factors that impact dietary habits in PMI.

The purpose of this study is to examine wake time activities (physical activity and sedentary behaviors) and sleep and the association among these behaviors with diabetes risk in obese Latino adolescents and young adults. This study will also use an integrated mixed methods approach to combine quantitative activity data with qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews to identify sociocultural determinants of wake time activities and sleep.
