<h3>Importance</h3> Smoking is globally the most important preventable cause of ill health and death. Mobile telephone interventions and, in particular, short message service (SMS) text messaging, have potential to overcome access barriers traditional services, not least among young people. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine effectiveness a text-based smoking cessation intervention <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A single-blind, 2-arm, randomized clinical trial (Nicotine Exit [NEXit])...
Brief interventions can be efficacious in changing alcohol consumption and increasingly take advantage of the internet to reach high-risk populations such as students.To evaluate effectiveness a brief online intervention, controlling for possible effects research process.A three-arm parallel groups design was used explore magnitude feedback assessment component effects. The three were: (group 1); only without 2); no contact, thus neither nor 3). Outcomes were evaluated after 3 months via an...
University students in Sweden routinely receive proactive mail-based alcohol Internet interventions sent from student health services. This intervention provides personalized normative feedback on consumption with suggestions how to decrease drinking. Earlier feasibility trials by our group and others have examined effectiveness simple parallel-groups designs.To evaluate the of electronic screening brief intervention, using a randomized controlled trial design that takes account baseline...
ABSTRACT Aims To investigate how brief alcohol interventions are delivered in routine practice the Swedish health‐care system. Design, setting and participants A cross‐sectional sample of 6000 individuals representative adult population aged 18–64 years registered total register was drawn randomly. Data were collected 2010 by means a mail questionnaire. The response rate 54%. Measurements questionnaire consisted 27 questions, which 15 variables extracted for use this study. Whether had been...
Aims: Knowledge is limited regarding the association between disability pension (DP) and mortality. The aim of this study was to examine relative risk (RR) mortality associated with DP among women men different ages over a 12-year period, for in general, full-time DP, part-time labour-market reasons, respectively. Methods: A prospective cohort performed covering total population Swedish county Östergötland aged 16—64 years December 1984 (n=245,704) followed up from 1985 1996. RR analysed...
Background: Previous research on the effectiveness of online alcohol interventions for college students has shown mixed results. Small benefits have been found in some studies and because are inexpensive possible to implement a large scale, there is need further study. Objective: This study evaluated national provision brief intervention Sweden. Methods: Risky drinkers at 9 colleges universities Sweden were invited by mail identified using single screening question. These (N=1605) gave...

Background: Excessive drinking among university students is a global challenge, leading to significant health risks. However, heavy widely accepted and socially normalized. Mobile phone interventions have attempted reach who engage in excessive drinking. A growing number of studies suggest that text message–based could potentially many and, if effective, such an intervention might help reduce the student community.
Despite robust evidence for their effectiveness, it has proven difficult to translate alcohol prevention activities into routine health care practice. Previous research identified numerous provider-level barriers affecting implementation, but these have been less extensively investigated in the wider population. We sought to: (1) investigate patients' beliefs and attitudes being asked about consumption care; (2) identify characteristics of those who are supportive addressing care....
Residents of the county Ostergötland, Sweden, who were 16-64 years age in December 1984 and not pensioned (n=229,864), followed a prospective, cohort, study data collected between 1985 1996. Using survival methods as method analysis, likelihood being granted disability pension was 14% for women, 11% men, increased with age. Women less than 54 at higher risk men (P<0.001), 69% pensions full-time 31% part-time, more women received part-time (P<0.001). Whether differences observed are due to...
While back pain and stressful work environment are shown to be important causes of sickness absence the effect psychosocial resources on absence, self assessed ability, is less commonly investigated. The aim this study was assess these associations in a two-year follow-up study. 341 working people aged 45 64, randomly drawn from population, responded questionnaire at baseline follow-up.

Most smoking efforts targeting young people have so far been focused on prevention of initiation, whereas cessation interventions largely targeted towards adult populations. Thus, there is limited evidence for effective in people, even though many want to quit smoking. Mobile communication technology has the potential reach large numbers and recent text-based using phones shown promising results. The study aims evaluate a newly developed intervention students colleges universities Sweden....
We propose a method where glove generates commands based on position measurements. The is equipped with sensor electrodes between which capacitances are formed. There also airtight polyvinyl chloride tubes placed along the fingers that connected pressure sensors wrist. When angles of change output will change. combined outputs form pattern corresponds to different finger flexions. Commands can be generated by simple and it generate sufficient signals for fuzzy control system. This paper...
