Impact of an Electronic Template on Documentation of Obesity in a Primary Care Clinic
This study investigated the impact of a standardized EHR template on documentation of obesity at WCC visits and its impact on physician behavior. A cohort of 585 children with severe early onset obesity (body mass index >99th percentile, age <6 years) was identified with an electronic algorithm. Complete records of visit notes were reviewed to extract history taking, counseling, and recording of obesity at a WCC visit. Use of a standardized EHR template for WCC visits is associated with improvement in rates of documentation of obesity (47% vs 34%, P < .01), without interruption of workflow. Documentation of obesit...

Bullying on Television: 1960-2010
This study aims to determine if the incidence of aggression in popular television shows over the past 50 years has changed. A total of 198 episodes of the most popular television shows between the years 1960 and 2010 were coded for incidents of aggression and analyzed using simple linear regression. The mean number of events per episode was 8.8. No statistically significant correlation was found between number of bullying events and the years in which they occurred. Whereas it is possible that aggression on television may have an impact on bullying behaviors, there is no evidence that the incidence of bullying on televisio...

Depression, Anxiety, and Severity of Obesity in Adolescents: Is Emotional Eating the Link?
The purposes of this study were to characterize the impact of depression and anxiety on the severity of obesity among youth seeking weight management treatment and to determine the extent to which emotional eating mediates the relationship between depression and/or anxiety and degree of obesity. This cross-sectional, retrospective chart review of 102 adolescent patients from a weight management clinic analyzed demographics, body mass index, depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), and anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7) screens and the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire, Emotional Over-Eating subscale. Afte...

Prevalence of Artificial Food Colors in Grocery Store Products Marketed to Children
This study assesses the percentage of grocery store products marketed to children that contain AFCs, by category and company. The research team collected product and food-color information about 810 products in one grocery store in North Carolina in 2014. Overall, 350 products (43.2%) contained AFCs. The most common AFCs were Red 40 (29.8% of products), Blue 1 (24.2%), Yellow 5 (20.5%), and Yellow 6 (19.5%). Produce was the only category that did not have any AFCs. The highest percentage of products with AFCs was found in candies (96.3%), fruit-flavored snacks (94%), and drink mixes/powders (89.7%). Forty-one of the 66 com...

Electronic Health Record Mid-Parental Height Auto-Calculator for Growth Assessment in Primary Care
This study sought to determine the feasibility and functionality of an electronic mid-parental height (MPH) auto-calculator in the clinical assessment of child growth in a pediatric primary care setting. Clinicians completed surveys for 62% of 6803 children (mean height 13 ± 7 percentile) with recorded parent heights. Collecting parent height data required <30 seconds in 91% of encounters. The MPH tool confirmed clinicians’ initial growth assessment in 79% of cases and changed it in 4%; the remainder did not use the tool. Clinicians who changed assessment were more likely (P < .0001) to pursue more compr...
