{"title":"Factors associated with adherence to a public mobile nutritional health intervention: Retrospective cohort study","authors":"Robert Jakob , Justas Narauskas , Elgar Fleisch , Laura Maria König , Tobias Kowatsch","doi":"10.1016/j.chbr.2024.100445","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.chbr.2024.100445","url":null,"abstract":"<div><h3>Background</h3><p>Obesity is a global health issue affecting over 2 billion people. Mobile health apps, specifically nutrition apps, have been identified as promising solutions to combat obesity. However, research on adherence to nutrition apps is scarce, especially for publicly available apps without monetary incentives and personal onboarding. Understanding factors associated with adherence is essential to improve the efficacy of these apps. This study aims to identify such factors by analyzing a large dataset of a free and publicly available app (“MySwissFoodPyramid”) that promotes healthy eating through dietary self-monitoring and nutrition literacy delivered via a conversational agent.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>A retrospective analysis was conducted on 19,805 users who used the app for at least two days between November 2018 and May 2022. Adherence was defined as completing a food diary by tracking dietary intake over a suggested period of three days. Users who finished multiple diaries were considered long-term adherent. The associations between the day and time of installation, tutorial use, reminder use, and conversational agent choice were examined regarding adherence, long-term adherence, and the number of completed diaries.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Overall, 66.8% of included users were adherent, and 8.5% were long-term adherent. Users who started the intervention during the day (5 a.m.–7 p.m.) were more likely to be adherent and completed more diaries. Starting to use the intervention between Sunday and Wednesday was associated with better adherence and a higher number of completed diaries. Users who chose the female conversational agent were more likely to be adherent, long-term adherent, and completed more diaries. Users who skipped the tutorial were less adherent and completed fewer diaries. Users who set a follow-up reminder were more likely to be long-term adherent and completed more diaries.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>This study demonstrates the potential of digital health interventions to achieve comparably high adherence rates, even without monetary incentives or human-delivered support. It also reveals factors associated with adherence highlighting the importance of app tutorials, customizable reminders, tailored content, and the date and time of user onboarding for improving adherence to mHealth apps. Ultimately, these findings may help improve the effectiveness of digital health interventions in promoting healthy behaviors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100445"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451958824000782/pdfft?md5=101573145c605ab030441902449d7084&pid=1-s2.0-S2451958824000782-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141729326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicated that adopting cloud-based accounting significantly influences the effectiveness of internal auditors in these Jordanian-listed industrial companies.

These findings hold importance for regulators and decision-makers, offering insights to shape potential new regulations aimed at enhancing the use of cloud-based accounting in internal audit departments within Jordan's industrial sector. This could ultimately help internal auditors in overseeing public funds. Given the extensive impact of cloud technology on modern business, it's crucial to understand how these innovations can improve the precision and benefits of internal audit functions.

Despite usually being effective, IR's underlying mechanism has not been clarified yet. Consistently, different assumptions may correspond to different IR versions and outcomes. Among these versions, active IR (AIR) – meaning a rescripting where the patient is the active ‘<em>rescriptor</em>’ – seems to have particularly positive effects. So far, IR use has been almost exclusively limited to in vivo settings. But the increasing availability of Virtual Reality (VR) in the last few years has favored the <em>in virtuo</em> implementation of safe and effective psychological treatments. On these grounds – and given that virtual scenarios can offer the possibility to perform any necessary actions and even more than real ones – we hypothesize that implementing AIR in VR can be effective in treating psychological conditions. As a preliminary evaluation of this assumption, we systematically searched the literature and reviewed the studies concerning VR realizations of AIR addressing mental issues.

The social-emotional lives of the majority of adolescents are largely conducted via digital media use (DMU; e.g., social media, text messaging). Yet the past decade of research on DMU and anxiety has yielded mixed results (e.g., Keles et al., 2020 review), leaving the complex role that DMU might play in the emergence and maintenance of anxiety poorly understood. A key step forward is to leverage psychophysiology to identify individual differences in cognitive and emotional processes that confer vulnerability to potential negative effects of DMU. Further, given the ubiquity of DMU, a greater focus is needed on measurements that move beyond sheer frequency to capture DMU in comparison to face-to-face (FTF) social interactions. This study examined attention bias (AB), characterized by selective and exaggerated attention toward or away from threat, as a moderator of the link between DMU and anxiety in adolescents (<em>N</em> = 75; 42 female) aged 12–14 years (<em>M</em> = 13.28, <em>SD</em> = 0.87). AB was indexed during a dot probe task using reaction time metrics (i.e., trial-level bias) and via ERPs capturing attentional selection and discrimination (N170) and cognitive control (N2) to threat compared to neutral faces. AB moderated associations between DMU and anxiety. A greater preference to use DMU vs FTF predicted greater anxiety among those with a greater behavioral bias away from threat, blunted N170, and blunted N2 in the presence of threat. Future research should examine potential causal and bidirectional links between DMU and anxiety and explore whether preferences for technology-mediated interactions and individual differences in threat processing increase risk.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100439"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451958824000721/pdfft?md5=2f59ea22260916ff84ee8522cfb7d1b3&pid=1-s2.0-S2451958824000721-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141291462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
