Abstract Although behavior change interventions are highly recommended in health care, their reach, a core dimension of the public impact interventions, is rarely evaluated. This study aimed to investigate whether an individualized, computer-based brief intervention reduce co-occurring risk behaviors (HRBs), namely tobacco smoking, at-risk alcohol use, insufficient physical activity, and unhealthy diet, can reach retain sufficiently large part general hospital patients (>75%) with...
Abstract Background Systematic counseling on behavioral health risk factors (HRFs) may be suitable to promote among general hospital patients. This study aimed investigate the openness of patients towards systematic screening and intervention HRFs, its relation actual participation in a multi-behavioral intervention, whether socio-economic characteristics, HRFs indicators are related approval. Methods All 18- 64-year-old hospitalized five medical departments at University Medicine Hospital...
Abstract Background At-risk alcohol use and tobacco smoking often co-occur. We investigated whether brief interventions (BAIs) among general hospital patients with at-risk may also reduce over 2 years. such effects vary by delivery mode; i.e. in-person versus computer-based BAI. Methods A proactively recruited sample of 961 aged 18 to 64 years was allocated three BAI study groups: BAI, assessment only. In-person- included motivation-enhancing intervention contacts at baseline 1 3 months...
The co-occurrence of health risk behaviours (HRBs, ie, tobacco smoking, at-risk alcohol use, insufficient physical activity and unhealthy diet) increases the risks cancer, other chronic diseases mortality more than additively; applies to half adult general populations. However, preventive measures that target all four HRBs reach majority populations, particularly those persons most in need hard are scarce. Electronic interventions may help efficiently address multiple healthcare patients....
Objectives: To investigate the co-occurrence of 4 behavioral health risk factors (BHRFs), namely tobacco smoking, alcohol at-risk drinking, physical inactivity and unhealthy diet their association with sick days prior to hospitalization in general hospital patients. Methods: Over 10 weeks (11/2020-04/2021), all 18-64-year-old patients admitted internal medicine, trauma surgery, otorhinolaryngology wards a tertiary care were systematically approached. Among 355 eligible patients, 278 (78.3%)...
This study investigated whether tobacco smoking affected outcomes of brief alcohol interventions (BAIs) in at-risk alcohol-drinking general hospital patients. Between 2011 and 2012 among patients aged 18–64 years, 961 were allocated to in-person counseling (PE), computer-based BAI containing computer-generated individual feedback letters (CO), assessment only. PE CO included contacts at baseline, 1, 3 months. After 6, 12, 18, 24 months, self-reported reduction use per day was assessed as an...

The aim of this study was to test whether brief alcohol interventions at general hospitals work equally well for males and females across age-groups.The current includes a reanalysis data reported in the PECO (testing delivery channels individualized motivationally tailored among hospital patients: PErson vs. COmputer-based) is therefore exploratory nature. At-risk drinking patients aged 18-64 years (N = 961) were randomized in-person counseling, computer-generated feedback letters, or...
