Only recently has tailoring become feasible for printed messages. This study sought determine whether tailored recommendations addressing women's specific screening risk status perceptions about breast cancer mammography are more effective than standardized recommendations. METHODS. Computer-assisted telephone interviews were conducted with 435 women, aged...
Background: Although the optimization of behavioral interventions offers potential both public health and research benefits, currently there is no widely agreed-upon principled procedure for accomplishing this. Purpose: This article suggests a multiphase strategy (MOST) achieving dual goals program evaluation in intervention field. Methods: MOST consists following three phases: (a) screening, which randomized experimentation closely guided by theory used to assess an array and/or delivery...
Significance Less than 50% of people over the age 65 are up-to-date with core preventive services. Identifying modifiable factors linked services important targets for research and practice. Purpose in life, recently focus multiple intervention studies, has been better health (mental physical) as well improved behaviors. However, its association care use understudied. We found that higher purpose was greater several also fewer nights spent hospitalized. These results may facilitate...
Mobile health (mHealth) apps provide an opportunity for easy, just-in-time access to promotion and self-management support. However, poor user engagement with these remains a significant unresolved challenge.This study aimed assess the effect of sending versus not push notification containing contextually tailored message on proximal engagement, measured here as self-monitoring via app. Secondary aims were examine whether this varies by number weeks enrolled in program or weekday weekend. An...

Setting Web in England and Republic Ireland. Participants A total 3971 subjects who purchased a particular brand logged‐on to use free web‐based support program. Intervention or non‐tailored materials. Measurements Twenty‐eight‐day continuous abstinence rates were assessed by internet‐based survey at 6‐week...
Health risk appraisal (HRA) remains one of the most widely used health promotion tools despite only equivocal evidence for its effectiveness. Theories behavior change predict conventional HRA's ineffectiveness because information alone is seldom sufficient to complex behaviors. In this study, a randomized trial compared effects feedback from an enhanced HRA with typical and control group among adult patients eight family medicine practices. The assessed behavior-specific psychosocial factors...
Web-based programs for health promotion, disease prevention, and management often experience high rates of attrition. There are 3 questions which particularly relevant to this issue. First, does engagement with program content predict long-term outcomes? Second, users most likely drop out or disengage from the program? Third, do particular intervention strategies enhance engagement?
We sought to identify and correct inaccurate perceptions of risk among 1,317 adult patients in a primary care setting. Patients' perceived risks heart attack, stroke, cancer, motor vehicle crash were assessed compared with measure derived from health appraisal. Patients then randomly assigned receive computer-generated individualized feedback, feedback plus behavioral change or no feedback. Changes baseline 6-month follow-up across study groups. Results showed that was effective increasing...
Approximately half of American adults do not meet recommended physical activity guidelines. Face-to-face lifestyle interventions improve health outcomes but are unlikely to yield population-level improvements because they can be difficult disseminate, expensive maintain, and inconvenient for the recipient. In contrast, Internet-based behavior change disseminated widely at a lower cost. However, impact some Internet-mediated programs is limited by high attrition rates. Online communities that...
Background: Research increasingly supports the conclusion that well-designed programs delivered over Internet can produce significant weight loss compared to randomized controlled conditions.Much less is known about four important issues addressed in this study: (1) which recruitment methods higher eHealth participation rates, (2) patient characteristics are related enrollment, (3) level of user engagement program, and (4) continued project assessments. Methods:We recruited overweight...
This paper reports data from the Tecumseh Community Health Study relating measures of occupational characteristics and stresses collected in 1967-69 to biomedical questionnaire assessments health behavior morbidity taken at same time, mortality over succeeding nine-to-twelve-year period. Overall, our findings show only slight evidence associations between job or morbidity. Consistent with prior research, however, few positive found among employed-irrespective sex-are strongest pressures...
Invalid data may compromise quality. We examined how decisions taken to handle these affect the relationship between Internet use and HIV risk behaviors in a sample of young men who have sex with (YMSM). recorded 548 entries during three-month period, created 6 analytic groups (i.e., full sample, initially tagged as valid, suspicious entries, valid cases mislabeled suspicious, fraudulent data, total cases) using quality decisions. compared on sample's composition their bivariate...
