We welcome the anonymous readers’ interest in our advance-access manuscript, and appreciate the opportunity to respond to the Editor's comments on our article as it reaches the Journal's pages in print. First, the Editor suggests ‘it may be incorrect to state that the intervention led to a reduction in hypoglycaemia rates’ because the study did not...
Background
Youth’s physical activity (PA) may change across developmental periods. Although previous studies have observed a decline in levels of PA during adolescence, few studies have explored trends in PA during the transition from adolescence to young adulthood and what factors may impact the transitional change. The purpose of this study was t...

Methods:
The sample includes youth with type 1 diabetes (N = 136, baseline age = 1...

Driving while impaired (DWI) increases the risk of a motor vehicle crash by impairing performance. Few studies have examined the prevalence and predictors of marijuana, alcohol, and drug-specific DWI among emerging adults.
Methods:
The data from wave 3 (W3, high school seniors, 2012, N=2407) and wave 4 (W4, one year after high scho...

Multiple databases were searched with the use of terms related to cell phone restrictions, the prevalence of cell phone use, crashes, and young drivers. Fifty-three abstracts were reviewed. Eleven stu...
Diets of U.S. adolescents and adults do not meet recommendations, increasing risk of chronic disease. This study examined trajectories and predictors of eating behaviors in U.S. youth from age 16–20 years, and evaluated longitudinal associations of eating behaviors with weight outcomes.
Data come from the first four waves (years) of the NEXT Genera...
To determine if a low-intensity, clinic-integrated behavioural intervention reduced the incidence of hypoglycaemic events in children with Type 1 diabetes.
A total of 390 families with children with Type 1 diabetes were enrolled in a 2-year, randomized clinical trial of a behavioural intervention. The intervention was designed to improve diabetes m...

Objective: Evaluation of fam...
