Transcribed interviews were coded and analyzed for themes.ResultsAdults who were not ready to quit smoking experienced few barriers to using Phoenix app content, and reported increased self-reflection, awareness of smoking behaviors, and motivation to quit smoking in response to the tailored messages and weekly assessments. Participants with less control over daily schedules wanted more access to missed messages and surveys. Messages and surveys were helpful, but participants suggested increasing the variety of message and survey content.ConclusionAdults not yet ready to quit smoking are receptive to using mHealth smoking cessation apps to reduce/quit smoking. mHealth applications can increase access to evidence-based smoking cessation interventions and may be an effective tool for reducing smoking disparities.","PeriodicalId":7481,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Health Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"8901171251361470"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144666825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most GWLs elicit a high level of emotional reaction (ER). Our recent study showed poorer efficacy of high-ER GWLs vs low-ER ones during a month-long naturalistic exposure. Here, we aimed to examine whether GWL effects persist after discontinuing the exposure.DesignA secondary analysis investigated the delayed GWL effects on smoking severity.SettingPhiladelphia Metropolitan Area, United States.Subjects96 adult smokers who completed a month-long exposure to high-ER or low-ER GWLs.MeasuresThe number of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) was measured immediately and 4 weeks after the end of GWL exposure. Participants also indicated their subjective feeling of being relieved from having to see the GWLs.AnalysisGeneralized estimating equations examined the change in CPD across time and its association with sense of relief.ResultsWe found a significant reduction in CPD from the immediate to the 4-week post-exposure timepoint (11.69 vs 10.30, P = 0.001). There was no difference between the high-ER and low-ER groups in CPD reduction (P = 0.74). Higher sense of relief was associated with greater CPD reduction in the high-ER group (z = -2.14, P = 0.033).ConclusionOur study suggests lasting impact of GWLs on smoking behavior. The findings may be particularly important to high-ER GWLs, which appear less effective in reducing smoking during active exposure.","PeriodicalId":7481,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Health Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"8901171251361791"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144648270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals with obesity often encounter complex health challenges because of physiological changes that alter metabolic processes and gene expression, making weight loss increasingly difficult. Many people with obesity now seek glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) medications to lose weight and improve their health. Supplementing GLP-1 RA medications with physical activity (PA) can produce synergistic effects that help to reduce risks associated with use of GLP-1 RAs and improve health outcomes, such as blood glucose control, blood pressure control, lipid management, body composition, and overall cardiometabolic risk. Healthcare professionals need to routinely prescribe PA concurrently with a GLP-1 RAs, when appropriate. Moreover, to attenuate disparities related to accessing these medications and PA, insurance carriers, employers, and advocates need to commit to benefit design that covers and/or reduces costs for all who need access to these treatments.","PeriodicalId":7481,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Health Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"8901171251357130"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144648269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this health promotion was to encourage daily PA among employees in a large academic healthcare system. We also tested whether individualized progress updates further influenced PA. This 10-week program was available to all employees of NYU Langone Health. Employees could sync their phone or accelerometer via app or web browser to count.it - the vendor chosen to monitor and manage step counts. Participants were asked to voluntarily provide basic information (age, sex, job role, work location) and complete the Physical Activity Vital Sign (minutes/week and intensity of PA) at enrollment and 10 weeks. For 10 weeks, participants were sent a message through their employee 'MyChart' portal with a link to information on the benefits of PA, and a reminder of that week's step-count challenge. Those meeting criteria for weekly challenges were included in gift card raffles. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive the standard message ± additional emails detailing their progress. 3528 employees registered to participate (8% of all employees) although active users diminished over time (1225 at week 10). Average daily steps remained stable throughout (7319 + 4540 in week 1, 7229 + 5010 in week 10). Although there was no difference in any individual week, receipt of personalized feedback was associated with significantly higher average step counts throughout the 10-wk intervention as a whole (P = 0.01). Age and an urban work location were positively associated with steps, while female sex and a clerical job role were negatively associated with steps counts (all P < 0.005). Our findings provide important insight for workplace interventions to promote PA. They further suggest specific groups that may benefit from targeted efforts.","PeriodicalId":7481,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Health Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"871-879"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143514331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
