Single Arm Trial of a Multi-component Commercial Digital Weight Loss Program

The goal of the proposed research project is to evaluate the acceptability and preliminary outcomes of an online multicomponent commercial weight loss program and to understand the relationship between program engagement and outcomes. Competitive We propose to conduct a new study with the original sample of mothers to test the impact of social media messaging on COVID-19 mitigation (i.e., social distancing behaviors) and vaccination to examine the impact of different sources frequently providing this information. The proposed project involves taking the core content and active ingredients of the website to develop an intervention that is delivered via secret groups using the social media site Facebook. This project is testing sun protection practices for outdoor workers using an in-person vs. web-delivered intervention. The purpose of this project is to develop a campaign to decrease mothers’ permissiveness for, and prevalence of, indoor tanning by daughters and increase mothers’ support for policy restrictions on indoor tanning by minors (i.e., bans) to improve the effectiveness of indoor tanning regulations. compare intervention on the online social network to a traditional in-person group-based lifestyle We compare of the and explore predictors We propose to develop and test the feasibility of a narrative-based social media intervention for indoor tanning that will ultimately be implemented by Skin Smart Campus, a national initiative co-chaired by the PI to promote skin cancer prevention policy and education on university campuses nationwide. Diversity supplement to candidate Martinus Evans for an adjunctive project to RELAX: A mobile application suite targeting obesity and stress, in which we will explore the feasibility and acceptability of health mobile apps in African Americans. Examination of Environmental that Promote among The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the availability of unsupervised tanning in urban and rural areas of two different regions in the US (Northeast and Southeast), proximity to schools, the characteristics of users, and their patterns and reasons for use. In a randomized clinical trial, we will compare the efficacy of two intervention approaches to dietary change for CHD prevention among persons with metabolic syndrome. The goal of this study is to explore how exercise and social support can improve the impact of a weight loss intervention in people who are depressed and overweight. goal of this study is to culturally translate and pilot test a comprehensive lifestyle program, the Mind/Body Wellness Program, for adults with pre-diabetes in incorporates of The goal of this research is to test the effects of a sun safety intervention on Boston area beach-goers. Effect of Acute VNS on Consumption of and Preference for Sweets in Depressed Adults The aim of the present study is to test whether participants consume fewer calories and a smaller ratio of sweet to nonsweet calories during acute activation of the VNS compared to inactivation.
