Results: In an intention-to-treat, multiple-mediator model, the significant intervention effect on weight at 6 months (-3.70 kg; p < 0.001) was mediated by increases in physical activity (steps/day) and decreases in takeaway meals (kJ/day) and portion size at 3 months. The largest mediation effect was for physical activity (-0.6 kg; 95% confidence interval -1.4, -0.1). Overall, the targeted mediators accounted for 47.0% of the intervention's effect on weight. Conclusion: Step counts, takeaway food consumption, and portion sizes may be key areas to target in future weight loss programs for men (ACTRN12610000699066).]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:15:52 AEST ]]> The influence of perceived stress on the onset of arthritis in women: findings from the Australian longitudinal study on women's health https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18227 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:14:20 AEST ]]> Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Behavioral Economic Incentive Programs for Goal Achievement on Healthy Diet, Weight Control and Physical Activity: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52396 Wed 06 Mar 2024 15:53:23 AEDT ]]> Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes of an Online Weight Loss Program for Men With Low Mood: A Randomized Controlled Trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48545 Tue 21 Mar 2023 15:23:47 AEDT ]]> Therapeutic alliance between dietitians and patients with head and neck cancer: The effect of training in a health behavior change intervention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44268 Tue 11 Oct 2022 14:13:26 AEDT ]]> Internet-based programs incorporating behavior change techniques are associated with increased smoking cessation in the general population: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48807 n = 65,736). Intervention effectiveness was found in the short term for all outcome measures (OR = 1.29, 95% CI 1.12, 1.50, p = .001), for "prolonged abstinence" (OR = 1.43, 95% CI 1.09, 1.87, p = .009), and "30 day PPA" (OR = 1.75, 95% CI 1.13, 2.72, p = .013). Internet-based programs were effective in the long term for all outcome measures (OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.06, 1.35, p = .004) and for "prolonged abstinence" (OR = 1.40, 95% CI 1.19, 1.63, p < .001). On average, interventions used more BCTs than comparison groups (6.6 vs. 3.1, p = .0002). The impact of specific individual BCTs and BCT domains on effectiveness was examined and is reported. Conclusions: Internet-based smoking cessation interventions increased the odds of cessation by 29 per cent in the short term and by 19 per cent in the long term. Internet-based smoking cessation intervention development should incorporate BCTs to increase effectiveness.

Changes in PA and A1c and other clinical measures were examined by Linear Mixed Model analyses over 18 months, along with moderating effects for gender and age. Results: PA and A1c levels did not significantly change in intervention groups. Step counts significantly increased in the print-based materials and pedometer plus telephone counseling group, for women. Conclusions: No significant effects were found for PA or A1c levels for T2DM adults. The multi-component strategy including telephone counseling may have potential for women.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:44 AEDT ]]>
