Preliminary investigation of a novel internet-based aggression prevention program for youth

Heilman, Meagan Elizabeth (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

Coping Power is one of the few empirically supported school-based cognitive-behavior interventions available for children at risk for aggression and associated problems. Although effective, the traditional CP program ...
Body fat percentage via dual energy X-ray absorptiometry following multiple different approaches compared to a laboratory-based 3-compartment model

Welborn, Bailey Arthur (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) derived body volume (BV) equations in a multi-compartment model for estimates of body fat percentage (BF%) in comparison ...
