Prevalent co-occurring poor diet and physical inactivity convey chronic disease risk to the population. Large magnitude behavior change can improve behaviors recommended levels, but multiple interventions produce small, poorly maintained effects.
Cost concerns are common among patients with cancer who have health insurance. Health care providers may alleviate by discussing cost-related all patients, not only those of lower socioeconomic status or without
Objective Intensive behavioral obesity treatments face scalability challenges, but evidence is lacking about which treatment components could be cut back without reducing weight loss. The Optimization of Remotely Delivered Lifestyle Treatment for Obesity (Opt‐IN) study applied the Multiphase Strategy to develop an entirely remotely delivered, technology‐supported weight‐loss package maximize amount loss attainable ≤$500. Methods Six‐month was examined among adults ( N = 562) with BMI ≥ 25...
Background: When making treatment decisions, cancer patients must make trade-offs among efficacy, toxicity, and cost. However, little is known about what patient characteristics may influence these trade-offs. Methods: A total of 400 reviewed 2 3 stylized curative noncurative scenarios that asked them to choose between treatments varying levels Each scenario included 9 choice sets. Demographics, cost concerns, numeracy, optimism were assessed. Within each scenario, we used latent class...
Wearable sensors can provide reliable, automated measures of health behaviors in free-living populations. However, validation these is impossible without observable confirmation behaviors. Participants have expressed discomfort during the use ego-centric wearable cameras with first-person view. We argue that mounting camera on different body locations a lens orientation, gives device recording affordance has effect reducing surveillance and social compared to cameras. call types...
Background Cancer survivors face an increased risk of cardiovascular events compared with the general population. Adopting a healthy lifestyle may reduce these risks, and guidelines encourage health‐promotion counseling for cancer survivors, but extent physician adherence is unclear. Methods This mixed‐method study surveyed 91 physicians, including 30 primary care physicians (PCPs), oncologists, 31 specialists (urologists, dermatologists, gynecologists). Interviews also were conducted 12...
To examine whether individual differences and day-to-day fluctuations in diabetes goal planning are associated with Type 1 (T1D) management during late adolescence, lapses daily more disruptive to among those poorer executive functioning (EF).
A CDKN2A/p16 mutation confers 28%–67% lifetime melanoma risk, a risk that may be moderated by ultraviolet radiation exposure. The aim of this study was to test whether genetic counseling and disclosure conferred unique informational, motivational, or emotional benefits compared family history-based counseling. Participants included were 114 unaffected members melanoma-prone families, ages 16–69, 51.8% men, 65.8% with minor children grandchildren. Carriers (n = 28) noncarriers 41) from...
Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the primary modifiable risk factor for melanoma. Wearable UVR sensors provide a means of quantifying objectively and with lower burden than self-report measures used in most research. The purpose this study was to evaluate relationship between detected reported sunburn occurrence. In study, monitoring device worn by 97 parent–child dyads during waking hours 14 days measure instantaneous accumulated exposure. results showed that participants’ total...
Abstract Genetic testing of minors is advised only for conditions in which benefits early intervention outweigh potential psychological harms. This study investigated whether genetic counseling and test reporting the CDKN2A/p16 mutation, confers highly elevated melanoma risk, improved sun protection without inducing distress. Eighteen ( M age = 12.4, SD 1.9) from melanoma‐prone families completed measures protective behavior distress at baseline, 1 week (distress only), month, year following...

Background Melanoma survivors often do not engage in adequate sun protection, leading to sunburn and increasing their risk of future melanomas. accurately recall the extent exposure they have received, thus, may be unaware personal UV exposure, this lack awareness contribute towards failure change behavior. As a means determining behavioral accuracy study compared subjective self-reports time outdoors an objective wearable sensor. Analysis meaningful discrepancies between self-report sensor...
Overeating interventions and research often focus on single determinants use subjective or nonpersonalized measures. We aim to (1) identify automatically detectable features that predict overeating (2) build clusters of eating episodes theoretically meaningful clinically known problematic behaviors (e.g., stress eating), as well new phenotypes based social psychological features.
One in five US adults will be diagnosed with skin cancer. As most cancers are attributable to sun exposure, this risk factor is an important target for research and intervention. Most exposure measures assess frequency of specific sun-protection behaviors, which does not account the use multiple, potentially overlapping methods. In contrast, Daily Minutes Unprotected Sun Exposure (MUSE) Inventory assesses behavior during self-reported activities, providing several useful metrics, including...
