SSBC utilizes a motivational interviewing (MI) informed counseling style to deliver a structured diet and exercise curriculum to empower healthy behavioral modifications and prevent type 2 diabetes (T2D). An electronic learning (e-learning) platform to train SSBC coaches was developed to improve flexibility, reach, and accessibility. While e-learning has shown to be an effective mode of teaching content to health professionals, less is known in the context of DPP coaches. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the SSBC e-learning course. Twenty coaches (eleven fitness staff personnel and nine university students) were recruited through existing fitness facilities to participate in the online SSBC coach training which included completing pre- and post-training questionnaires, seven online modules of content and a mock client session. Knowledge regarding MI (<i>M</i>_<i>pre</i> = 3.30 ± 1.95, <i>M</i>_<i>post</i> = 5.90 ± 1.29; <i>p</i> < 0.01), SSBC content <i>(M</i>_<i>pre</i> = 5.15 ± 2.23, <i>M</i>_<i>post</i> = 8.60 ± 0.94; <i>p</i> < 0.01), and T2D <i>(M</i>_<i>pre</i> = 6.95 ± 1.57, <i>M</i>_<i>post</i> = 8.25 ± 0.72; <i>p</i> < 0.01), and self-efficacy to deliver the program <i>(M</i>_<i>pre</i> = 7.93 ± 1.51, <i>M</i>_<i>post</i> = 9.01 ± 1.00; <i>p</i> < 0.01) all significantly increased from pre- to post e-learning training. Participants reported positively on the user satisfaction and feedback questionnaire with a mean score of 4.58/5 (SD = 0.36). These findings suggest e-learning platforms are a promising mode to improve DPP coaches' knowledge, counseling skills, and to bolster confidence in program delivery with high levels of satisfaction. E-learning to train DPP coaches allows for effective and feasible expansion of DPP's, ultimately permitting more reach to adults living with prediabetes.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s41347-023-00316-3.</p>","PeriodicalId":73962,"journal":{"name":"Journal of technology in behavioral science","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10191814/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9771008","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}

However, the external validity of this digital phenotyping data is still being explored, and there is a need to assess if predictive models derived from this data are generalizable. The first dataset (V1) of 632 college students was collected between December 2020 and May 2021. The second dataset (V2) was collected using the same app between November and December 2021 and included 66 students. Students in V1 could enroll in V2. The main difference between the V1 and V2 studies was that we focused on protocol methods in V2 to ensure digital phenotyping data had a lower degree of missing data than in the V1 dataset. We compared survey response counts and sensor data coverage across the two datasets. Additionally, we explored whether models trained to predict symptom survey improvement could generalize across datasets. Design changes in V2, such as a run-in period and data quality checks, resulted in significantly higher engagement and sensor data coverage. The best-performing model was able to predict a 50% change in mood with 28 days of data, and models were able to generalize across datasets. The similarities between the features in V1 and V2 suggest that our features are valid across time. In addition, models must be able to generalize to new populations to be used in practice, so our experiments provide an encouraging result toward the potential of personalized digital mental health care.</p>","PeriodicalId":73962,"journal":{"name":"Journal of technology in behavioral science","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9978275/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9717233","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}

Some services have shifted to provision via videoconferencing, but the prevalence of this is unknown. This audit aimed to understand provision of virtual CST (vCST) within National Health Service (NHS) memory clinics throughout the UK and Channel Islands and investigate plans for ongoing CST provision. A cross-sectional survey was circulated to NHS memory clinics, which included closed and open-ended questions to generate quantitative and qualitative data. Thirty-three memory clinics responded to the survey. During the pandemic, 55% of respondents offered vCST, whereas 45% offered no CST. Of those offering vCST, 80% plan to continue with a hybrid model of separate face-to-face and vCST groups, whilst 20% intend to deliver face-to-face CST only. Reported positive aspects of vCST were participant and staff enjoyment, perceived improved digital confidence in participants, and improved accessibility for those who cannot attend face-to-face groups. Negative aspects related to digital poverty, limited digital literacy, support needed from carers, the impact of sensory impairment on engagement, and staff time commitment. Virtual CST has been a feasible alternative to face-to-face services during the pandemic but should not completely replace in-person groups. A hybrid approach would increase accessibility for all. Future research should explore efficacy of vCST and seek to understand patterns of exclusion from such digital interventions.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s41347-023-00306-5.</p>","PeriodicalId":73962,"journal":{"name":"Journal of technology in behavioral science","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9950015/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10804886","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}
