Abstract

EcoSanté is a mobile lifestyle intervention that encourages individual behavior change while also helping participants understand the deep connections between daily lifestyle choices and our collective impact on the planet. Informed by research on “small” intervention approaches, we sent participants daily behavioral challenges that demonstrated connections between personal health and environmental impact at large. Through a 20-day mobile intervention study, 139 participants uploaded 1,920 submissions documenting their attempts to engage in these challenges. We found that participants’ self-reported healthy eating behavior and general self-efficacy improved significantly immediately after the intervention. Moreover, 30 days after the intervention, participants’ self-reported eating, exercise, and general self-efficacy all significantly improved compared to the beginning of the study. Participants had a more negative reaction when being asked to come up with their own challenges. Based on quantitative and qualitative findings, we provide implications for future researcher on mobile behavior intervention research.

EcoSanté生活方式干预：鼓励反思健康与环境之间的联系

EcoSanté是一种移动的生活方式干预，鼓励个人行为改变，同时帮助参与者了解日常生活方式选择与我们对地球的集体影响之间的深层联系。根据对“小型”干预方法的研究，我们向参与者发送了日常行为挑战，证明了个人健康和环境影响之间的联系。通过一项为期20天的移动干预研究，139名参与者上传了1920份文件，记录了他们参与这些挑战的尝试。我们发现，参与者自我报告的健康饮食行为和一般自我效能感在干预后立即显著改善。此外，干预30天后，参与者自我报告的饮食、锻炼和总体自我效能感与研究开始时相比都有显著改善。当被要求提出自己的挑战时，参与者的反应更为消极。基于定量和定性的研究结果，我们为未来的移动行为干预研究提供了启示。

期刊介绍： This ACM Transaction seeks to be the premier archival journal in the multidisciplinary field of human-computer interaction. Since its first issue in March 1994, it has presented work of the highest scientific quality that contributes to the practice in the present and future. The primary emphasis is on results of broad application, but the journal considers original work focused on specific domains, on special requirements, on ethical issues -- the full range of design, development, and use of interactive systems.
