Healthy Choices Made Easy

Health and wellness research is a large and thriving part of the research mission of the College of Education and Human Development. Faculty in our Departments of Educational Psychology and Health and Kinesiology produce knowledge in some of the most critical areas of health, mental health and wellness. Not only is our research in the area of health and wellness central to the college’s mission of transforming lives, but the scholarly knowledge and scientific advancements that emerge from our research in these areas impact the physical and mental health and well-being of Texans and all Americans.

In this issue, read about how our faculty are engaged in cutting-edge research focused on some of society’s most serious and enduring problems, including diabetes, aging, bone loss, heart health, public health, and mental health for underserved and vulnerable populations.

One example of how our faculty are aiding underserved populations is through Telehealth, a long-distance counseling service that brings mental health services to the rural residents of Leon County. Since Telehealth began taking clients in 2009, over 43 clients have been served, and our faculty are continuing to explore ways to extend the project into other rural communities in the Brazos Valley.

Dr. Michael Massett, a researcher in health and kinesiology, is currently searching for the genetic link between exercise training and fitness levels. His goal is to contribute to identifying therapeutic agents that may help individuals who suffer from diseases related to lower fitness levels, including diabetes, heart disease or cancer.

Another one of our faculty is collaborating with researchers across the university to investigate two state policies created to

combat childhood obesity. Specifically, these investigators are examining the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, which provides food assistance to low-income families, and are proposing healthier options as part of the WIC food packages.

School bullying is an area of increasing concern for parents and educators alike, including bullying and aggression on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Dr. Jamilia Blake is looking at how parental attitudes and beliefs about aggression can influence their children’s behavior, especially the kinds of differences that may exist across racial and ethnic groups. Her study may eventually help to adapt existing intervention and prevention programs to be more culturally responsive or to yield new parent trainings that address parental beliefs about aggression.

These articles are only a sample of our faculty’s research activities in the area of health and wellness. This is truly an exciting time for our college, as the work of our faculty is improving the physical and mental health and wellness for individuals across the state, nation and world.

All the best,

Healthy Choices Made EasyResearchers investigate two state policies created to combat childhood obesity

America’s expanding waistline is not limited to adults. Approximately one in five children are obese too, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

To combat this problem, the state of Texas has implemented a number of policies that focus on environmental factors contributing to childhood obesity.

E. Lisako McKyer, assistant professor of health education, is part of a multidisciplinary research team from Texas A&M University and the University of Texas charged with reviewing two of these policies. The first is the implementation of Texas Safe Routes to School, which supports finding ways for children to safely walk and bike to school. The second is a change to the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, which provides food

“assistance to low-income families to include healthier options in their food packages.

McKyer notes that WIC participants previously could not use their WIC benefits to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as a number of whole-grain products. This has changed in the last year.

“What we’re expecting to see is that retailers will have changed how they display the products in accordance with WIC policies. Whole-grain products that were below eye-level will now be more prominently displayed,” McKyer says.

Because shoppers are naturally inclined to grab the first product they see on the shelf, McKyer believes this WIC change will have larger implications.

“A policy that was designed to influence a subset of people really does have a larger impact because everyone shops at these stores, not just WIC shoppers,” McKyer says. “Here’s an example of a policy that is meant to impact at-risk people having beneficial effects at the population level.”

Once all data has been collected on both policies, researchers will be able to look at their full impact across the state.

“We know the schools that have received the Texas Safe Routes to School grants, and we can map the WIC clinics and the grocery stores where WIC folks are most likely to shop. We’re able to overlap our data and look at the effects of these two policies,” she says.

McKyer expects to see significant results in the areas where the policies overlap. In theory, these regions will have more children exercising by walking or biking to school and eating more nutritious foods.

The idea is that by creating an environment where healthy life choices are easier to make, children and adults will reap the health benefits.

“We can say what we want about ‘eat this, buy this, do this,’ but if people are living in an environment where it isn’t conducive, you might as well tell them to catch a flight to the moon,” McKyer says.

Reaching OutTelehealth delivers long-distance mental health services to rural Texas residents

An individual with mental health problems living in Leon County, Texas, would have to drive roughly 60 miles to Bryan to see a therapist for a 45-minute session. Then he’d need to trek another 60 miles back home.

However, Telehealth, a long-distance counseling service, brings that mental health provider as close as the local public health center.

“Rural residents experience significant disparities in their ability to access mental health services due to factors such as travel time, expenditures, lack of health insurance and a shortage of eligible providers,” says Timothy Elliott, professor of counseling psychology.

“By using Telehealth to provide mental health services at the local health resource center free of charge, we increase residents’ abilities to access much-needed mental health services.”

Leon County residents now have access to counseling services through long-distance technologies.

Telehealth uses videoconferencing equipment and a secure internet connection with a television-speed refresh rate. The service operates out of the Leon County Health Resource Center in Centerville and the Counseling and Assessment Clinic (CAC), which is located in Bryan and run by the Department of Educational Psychology.

Elliott works with Monica Wendell, director of the Center for Community Health Development at the Texas A&M Health Science Center, and community leaders in Centerville and Leon County on the project. Linda Castillo and Daniel Brossart, both associate professors of counseling psychology, also participate in the project.

Telehealth is the culmination of efforts by the Brazos Valley Health Partnership—a nonprofit entity comprised of seven Brazos Valley counties, two advisory groups and the Center for Community Health Development—to better meet the mental health needs of rural residents.

“Basically what we’re doing is trying to take the CAC and all its services that are available to people in Bryan/College Station and use long-distance technology to provide these same services throughout the Brazos Valley,” Elliott says.

Telehealth began taking clients in 2009, and so far, has served 43 clients over 278 sessions. Counseling psychology doctoral students provide the assessment and counseling services. Some sessions also are available in Spanish.

“The system we have is quite sophisticated, and the interaction between the client and counselor happens in real time with no glitches or pauses,” says Carly McCord, a counseling psychology doctoral student who worked with Telehealth last year. “Other than not being able to actually hand a client a tissue, the relationship feels pretty similar to one that develops in a face-to-face session,” she says.

The research team is currently exploring ways to extend the project into other rural communities to expand the availability of mental health services.

“Telehealth is consistent with the mission of Texas A&M University and certainly with our college, and it reflects what we can be doing with applied science and community outreach,” Elliott says. “It’s certainly being responsive to a group of people who encounter disparities in services simply by the virtue of where they live.”

A Link To FitnessResearchers look for genetic link between exercise training and fitness levels

In the famous training sequence from the classic movie Rocky, Rocky Balboa works relentlessly to hone his body and prove himself against his opponent. What if, at the end of that sequence, Rocky didn’t become stronger, faster and fitter? What if he didn’t see any improvement after his training?

This scenario is actually not all that far-fetched. Research suggests that people’s responses to exercise training vary greatly, to the point where some individuals experience little difference after training and others see dramatic results. This variation in response has a genetic component, says Michael Massett, assistant professor of exercise physiology.

8

Participants in Texas A&M’s FITLIFE Zumba class will respond differently to training and exercise because of their genetics.

Massett is principal investigator of a five-year National Institutes for Health project charged with finding that specific genetic component. He and his research team are trying to identify genes that influence how people respond to exercise training.

“Cardio and respiratory fitness is a good predictor of morbidity, mortality and chronic disease. The more fit you are, the lower your risk for these types of diseases,” Massett says. “Our main goal is to find the genes that link cardio and respiratory fitness with the beneficial effects of exercise.”

To identify the genes, researchers use mice, which can reproduce in a matter of weeks and provide the large number of subjects needed for a human genetic study. The mice complete four weeks of exercise training on a treadmill and are tested both before and after the training to track their response. Researchers look for strains that have a large response to the exercise training and those that have a small one.

“We can compare two strains for any kind of phenotype—or physical characteristic—weight, body fat composition, their ability to exercise on a treadmill or their response to exercise. If there is any difference between the two strains, we know that some component of this is due to genetics. We can use these differences to identify the genes that are responsible for that difference,” Massett says.

If successful, researchers will be able to identify several candidate genes. These genes then can be explored in humans to see if they are related to training response.

Eventually, the research could lead to identifying therapeutic agents that may help individuals who suffer from diseases related to lower fitness levels, such as diabetes, heart disease or cancer.

“If someone has a version of a gene that is not up to par, and if we know where to find that gene, we might be able to design therapeutic agents to turn that gene on, off or up a little,” Massett says. “It could be a drug or medication, or it could be changes in diet and exercise.”

Understanding AggressionAcross racial and ethnic groups, differing parental views about aggression may influence students’ behaviors at school

Parents are the first teachers. The lessons they give their children stay with them and shape their lives. One of the most important lessons parents will ever teach their children is how to relate to others.

Jamilia Blake, assistant professor of school psychology, wants to understand how parental attitudes and beliefs about aggression influence children’s behavior and what kinds of differences might exist across racial and ethnic groups.

“There’s considerable research looking at ethnic differences in aggressive behavior. What has been found is that African-American and Latino students are at greater risk for engaging in aggressive behavior,” Blake says. “The purpose of my study is to understand why that might be and look at the role of parents as influencing aggression.”

10

Children may gossip or spread rumors as a form of social aggression against other peers.

Blake notes that some parents condone their children’s use of aggression, particularly when it’s provoked—like a self-defense mechanism.

Aggressive behavior is different from bullying, where there is victimization and some kind of status differential between the children involved. Aggressive behavior occurs between two or more children who are of equal status and unable to resolve a dispute.

Aggression also takes different forms, including verbal, physical and social. Social aggression may include gossip, the spreading of rumors and purposeful exclusion, either verbally or non-verbally. Blake notes that children typically use more than one form of aggression at a time.

Blake and her research team also are looking at the protective factors of racial or ethnic identity that reduce a student’s chances of engaging in aggression.

“Children who feel more connected to their racial or ethnic group actually feel better about themselves,” she says. “If that’s the case, the question is if these children may be less interested or likely to engage in aggression.”

The researchers surveyed approximately 300 parents and 600 students from diverse backgrounds about their beliefs regarding aggression. The students’ teachers also were asked about their classroom behavior.

“I think we may find that ethnically diverse parents view aggression differently than white parents,” she says. “What I hope to find is that ethically diverse parents aren’t advocating that their child use aggression, but that they view aggression in retaliation is appropriate.”

The study may eventually help to adapt existing intervention and prevention programs to be more culturally responsive or to yield new parent trainings that address parental beliefs about aggression. These programs also may incorporate components that positively reinforce racial or ethnic identity.

“Aggression is a persistent problem that can detrimentally impact children’s social, psychological and academic achievement, increasing their risk for academic underachievement, engagement in delinquency and adult criminality,” Blake says. “By identifying protective and risk factors that may explain aggression, we may be closer to developing interventions to reduce low-level aggression in ethnically diverse populations.”

“Asian-Americans, one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups in the U.S., often are labeled as ‘model minorities’ and are perceived as

exceptionally high academic achievers. In fact, they may be underserved for mental health needs because of these stereotypes. They

also tend to avoid seeking services when they do have mental health concerns.”
