A 16-week low-touch digital weight loss program, based on the diabetes prevention program, was implemented to promote healthy eating, physical activity, and portion control among four unique cohorts in Texas, USA. Participants received fully digital program materials via email, 5-10 text message reminders per week, Fitbit activity trackers and Wi-Fi-connected scales for daily self-monitoring of physical activity and weight. Weight, physical activity, dietary intake, weight-related eating behaviors, and quality of life were assessed remotely at baseline and follow-up (16-week). Program completion and satisfaction were assessed after the program. Pre-post changes in outcomes were examined using paired t-tests and Pearson's chi-squared tests. Among 48 enrolled participants, 37 completed the program (77% completion rate). Participants had moderate adherence to weekly weighing, and high adherence to Fitbit wear and responding to text messages. They reported a high level of satisfaction with the program, with a mean score of 4.06 out of 5. At follow-up, we observed loss of ~ 2% of baseline weight (range - 13.8% to + 3.4%) and significant improvements in weight-related eating behaviors and dietary habits (i.e., 30% decrease in total daily calorie intake (p < .001), 14% increase in protein intake (p = .044), and 56% decrease in added-sugar intake (p < .001), etc.). This low-touch digital weight loss program was feasible and acceptable for weight loss and improving eating behaviors among racial/ethnic diverse individuals with overweight and obesity. Program completion and engagement appeared to vary across cohorts, suggesting program adaptations and additional support beyond the low-touch digital weight loss program offered in this study may be needed for some groups.</p>","PeriodicalId":48329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147533688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most available interventions primarily focus on symptoms, overlooking the predisposing risk factor of stress, and are subject to access barriers. Digital interventions targeting stress can increase access and reduce the incidence of stress-related psychopathology. This systematic review evaluated available research on digital interventions targeting the impact of stress on stress-related mental health outcomes among military personnel and veterans. This systematic review is registered in PROSPERO (ID#masked) and funded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Following PRISMA guidelines, three databases (APA PsycInfo, PubMed, PTSDPubs) were systematically searched until September 30, 2025. Inclusion criteria were: samples containing military personnel or veterans; quantitative measures of stress, depression, anxiety, trauma-related distress, or mood as primary measures; digital interventions targeting stress; and peer-reviewed research. Critical appraisal checklists were used to assess the risk of bias. Data were synthesized according to the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual for Systematic Reviews. Of the 15 studies that met inclusion criteria, 13 had acceptable data quality (at least 70% on critical appraisal checklists). Samples were predominantly White (100%), male (86.7%), and veteran-only (66.7%). Posttraumatic stress disorder was the most common type of mental health disorder characterizing samples (40%). Digital interventions were delivered in app (60%), web-based (33.3%), and task-based (6.7%) formats. Two studies examined only feasibility and acceptability of the interventions. Of the 13 studies that examined the clinical impact of digital interventions on stress-related mental health outcomes, only six reduced stress-related mental health outcomes compared to a control condition. Monitoring stress was the most common feature of digital interventions, followed by a variety of skills-based content (e.g., breathing techniques). Only two studies examined just-in-time interventions that prompted an intervention in response to stress detection. Digital interventions targeting stress among veterans and miliary personnel are limited in number, diverse in approach, and offer limited evidence for efficacy across stress-related mental health outcomes. Nevertheless, existing research provides a strong foundation for future stress intervention development, including just-in-time interventions, to facilitate a more adaptive response to stressors and increase resilience.</p>","PeriodicalId":48329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147500155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emerging evidence suggests breaking up prolonged sedentary behaviors may improve CLBP. This pilot trial examined the influence of decreasing sedentary behaviors on pain, mood, and quality of life in CLBP. Forty adults with CLBP and elevated depressive symptoms were randomized to wear an activity tracker with an idle alert along with receiving health coaching based on Motivational Interviewing and Habit Theory (INT) or a wait-list control condition (WLC) for eight weeks with a 12-week follow-up. Actigraphy-assessed time in total and prolonged sedentary behaviors, pain, depressed mood, quality of life, Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), and habits surrounding sedentary behavior were assessed at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at follow-up. Repeated measures ANOVAs were used to examine changes in outcomes. Results demonstrated that INT reduced time spent in prolonged sedentary bouts by an average of ~ 53 min/day (95% CI - 111.8 to 5.4), compared to WLC who decreased by an average of less than 1 min/day, based on wearable activity monitor data (difference between groups, 52.9 min/day, 95% CI - 27.2 to 133.1). There were no significant group-by-time interactions for pain nor depressed mood. Significant improvements for INT over WLC were demonstrated with moderate-to-large effects in Quality of life (physical health, g = 0.95, and bodily pain, g = 0.70), PGIC (g = 1.14), and sedentary behavior habit automaticity (g = 0.71). These results demonstrate potentially meaningful improvements in patient quality of life and physical activity after an intervention that decreased prolonged sedentary time in those with CLBP, although further study in larger scale efficacy trials is warranted. Perspective: This article presents the findings from a pilot trial examining whether breaking up prolonged bouts of sedentary time improves symptoms and quality of life in chronic low back pain. Results can be used to determine whether this strategy is worthy of further investigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":48329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147500253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Headaches are often comorbid with psychopathology which can negatively impact quality of life and functioning. Yet there is limited evidence on the impact of headaches on quality of life. The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations among gender, headache frequency, headache intensity, and quality of life in combat-exposed U.S. veterans. Participants (n = 345, 68.3% male, 19.7% Hispanic/Latino, 33.5% Black/African American, average age = 38.46 years [SD = 9.73]) completed a baseline and one-year follow up where they self-reported headache frequency (number of days per week), headache intensity (0-10), combat exposure, quality of life, functional disability, and pain-related disability. Bayesian zero-one-inflated beta regression was used to assess prediction of quality of life, pain-related disability, and functional disability at one year follow-up by age, gender, education, headache frequency, headache intensity, and combat exposure reported at baseline. Both headache frequency and intensity predicted greater functional disability and pain-related disability at follow-up, while headache intensity alone predicted worse quality of life. Women veterans experienced greater functional disability and lower quality of life compared to men veterans. These findings suggest that headaches may lead to functional disability, pain-related disability, and lower quality of life, particularly among women veterans. Interventions for headache may have differential impact on quality of life and functional disability if focused on reducing intensity versus frequency of headache and across gender identity.</p>","PeriodicalId":48329,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147500245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
