Evaluating the effectiveness of an integral neighbourhood-oriented approach for healthy ageing
This article reports an effectiveness study of Neighbourhood Active & Connected, a novel neighbourhood-oriented approach to promote healthy ageing among older adults from lower socioeconomic positions (LSPs). This group faces significant health disparities and limited access to preventive care. The intervention aims to enhance physical activity, reduce loneliness, and improve social cohesion and health-related quality of life, while fostering dig…
Differences in usage and engagement rates of an online physical activity intervention among subgroups of adults aged 50 years and older in a practical setting
Reach, use and effects of digital health interventions (DHIs) vary greatly among subpopulations, with lower usage rates and effects among groups with low socioeconomic status (SES) and chronic diseases. However, reaching these groups and improving their DHI use is crucial since they could benefit the most from improving their health and lifestyle. The aim of this study was to provide insight into usage and engagement rates of an online physical a…
Explaining intention and use of Mhealth with the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology
To increase mHealth use, the results of this study suggest raising awareness of its benefits and compatibility. Additionally, encouraging habitual use can boost both intention and usage
The Usability of an Online Tool to Promote the Use of Evidence-Based Smoking Cessation Interventions
To increase usage of evidence-based smoking cessation interventions (EBSCIs) among smokers, an online decision aid (DA) was developed. The aims of this study were (1) to conduct a usability evaluation; (2) to conduct a program evaluation and evaluate decisional conflict after using the DA and (3) to determine the possible change in the intention to use EBSCIs before and directly after reviewing the DA. A cross-sectional study was carried out in S…
Long-Term Effects on Loneliness of a Computer-Tailored Intervention for Older Adults With Chronic Diseases
Objectives: This study explores the effects of the Active Plus intervention aiming to decrease loneliness among older adults (>65 years) with chronic diseases. Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was performed (N = 585; age: M = 74.5 years, SD = 6.4), assessing loneliness at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. Outcome measures in the multilevel linear regression analyses were total, social and emotional loneliness. Results: At 12 months, s…
The Effect of Active Plus, a Computer-Tailored Physical Activity Intervention, on the Physical Activity of Older Adults with Chronic Illness(es)—A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
eHealth interventions aimed at improving physical activity (PA) can reach large populations with few resources and demands on the population as opposed to centre-based interventions. Active Plus is a proven effective computer-tailored PA intervention for the older adult population focusing on PA in daily life. This manuscript describes the effects of the Active Plus intervention ( N = 260) on PA of older adults with chronic illnesses (OACI), comp…

Coping with Cyberbullying
This study investigated the relationship between the use of coping strategies to deal with daily stressors in general ( n = 325) and the use of coping strategies to deal with cyberbullying in particular ( n = 88) among children aged 11 and 12 years. Additionally, it investigated the impact of coping strategies on depression and health in victims of cyberbullying ( n = 88 ) . The results showed that victims differed significantly from bully‐victim…
