Goals were coded on five 'SMART' principles. Goals were scored 1 or 0 for each principle (1 indicated the principle was met and 0, not met). The total maximum score for each goal was 5. Mean total goal-score and means for each SMART principle were calculated. Results: Mean (and standard deviation) goal setting scores for Study 1 were 3.84 (0.61), Study2Diet 2.17 (1.33), Study2PA 3.18 (1.45) and Study2Combo 2.24 (1.30). Goal-scores were significantly higher for Study 1 than Study 2 (p < 0.001). In Study2Diet, goal setting was significantly associated with greater reduction in energy intake (p = 0.019). Conclusions: Goal-scores were highest in Study 1, which used a supported online format for setting goals. Parents were better at setting physical activity goals, but these goals did not translate into improvements in physical activity behavior. Goals set by parents may be useful in energy intake reduction, however further research is required to determine benefits for weight status or physical activity.]]> Thu 13 Jan 2022 10:32:05 AEDT ]]> Brownie: a platform for conducting NeuroIS experiments https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30499 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:45 AEDT ]]>
