Kimberly Clevenger, PhD, MPH

I just gave a research talk to my alma mater and figured I'd post a recap in thread form:

@TheDenverBrown Interesting and important point that we weren’t aware of! My quick look shows that ~30% of the included countries don’t report race/ethnicity according to OECD (oecd.org/en/publication…)…while this might not change our recommendation, it definitely helps explain why it’s missing!

@KimberlyClev Could the lack of race/ethnicity reporting be partially attributable to studies from Europe where many countries don’t collect this data. Collecting race/ethnicity data is illegal in some countries if I remember right (since ~WW2). Standardized reporting is crucial tho!

We used the @NCCOR measurement registry to assess the validity and reliability of 455 youth physical activity measures. Criterion validity (89%) and test-retest reliability (70%) were the most common measurement properties.

Cool job opportunity at @usuCEHS ! Post doc fellowship with the opportunity to convert to an assistant professor after. Fellows will work across 2 departments -e.g., studying physically active STEM learning in young children (KHS+ITLS, COMDDE, or HDFS) higheredjobs.com/details.cfm?Jo…

Well clearly I haven’t tweeted in awhile because I forgot to link to the article :) doi.org/10.1080/109136…

We also suggest developing standards for measurement development (like COSMIN) but for physical activity measurement, and possibly addition of other measurement properties like responsiveness. Awesome job @kap_msu @JenZink_PhD and everyone else not on 🙅‍♀️

The lack of reporting of these demographic characteristics is alarming - 52% didn’t report race/ethnicity while 71.5% didn’t report socioeconomic status! We encourage researchers to report this information and suggest updating the registry (last updated in 2020)!

📢Just Accepted! ⌚️New from @kimberlyclev @pfeif51 @jcbrond et al., an original #research article detailing the impact of accelerometer time drift when merging #accelerometry & #GPS data in #BuiltEnvironment #PhysicalActivity research. Abstract available now, article coming soon!

@KimberlyClev presents at #NASPEM2024 about a unique approach to estimate totalp hysical activity in toddlers using hip-worn accelerometry.

Ending our first free communication session is Rebecca Elwood from @usuCEHS. She shares on the importance of social connections to children's health and wellbeing. #NASPEM2024

@DocBJenkins @NIH_LRP @theNCI 👏👏👏👏👏

Also huge thanks to @Willis_EA who sent advice and materials. I’m here to pay it forward so please reach out if you have questions about the program. I promise it will be easier than cold emailing LRP ambassadors...

Super excited to join everyone receiving an @NIH_LRP award from @NIDDKgov . Mine wasn’t awarded last year so if you don’t get it - I feel your pain, but reapply! (Also learn from my mistakes and read and follow the rules 😂).

We've been selected as a Phase 1 winner in @siegelendowment and @WaltonFamilyFdn’s $2.2 million #LearningLandscapes Challenge. On to Phase 2! shorturl.at/FqIhZ
