Long-term usage of a commercial mHealth app
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that individuals use mHealth apps in multiple disjointed ways in the real-world-individuals, for example, may engage, take breaks, and re-engage with these apps. To our knowledge, very few studies have adopted this 'multiple-live' perspective to analyze long-term usage of a physical activity (PA) app. This study aimed to examine the duration of use, as well as the frequency, length, and timing of streaks (un…
Is it worth it? Cost-effectiveness analysis of a commercial physical activity app
The Carrot Rewards app was cost-effective, and dominant for older adults. These results provide, for the first time, rigorous health economic evidence for a commercial physical activity app as part of public health programming
Do Incentives Promote Action Planning in a Web-based Walking Intervention
Objective In this study, we examine the effect of providing an incentive for engagement in self-regulatory behaviors (ie, action planning), in inactive, office-based university employees participating in an 11-week, Web-based walking intervention. Methods Participants were randomly assigned to either control (intervention only) or incentive (intervention plus incentive; CAD $5.00 e-gift card delivered weekly for completing action plans over 4 wee…
Sedentary Time and Its Association With Risk for Disease Incidence, Mortality, and Hospitalization in Adults
BACKGROUND: The magnitude, consistency, and manner of association between sedentary time and outcomes independent of physical activity remain unclear. PURPOSE: To quantify the association between sedentary time and hospitalizations, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer in adults independent of physical activity. DATA SOURCES: English-language studies in MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Knowled…
Contraceptive Use, Birth Spacing, and Autonomy

Drawing from data gathered by Mexico's National Institute of Public Health, this study assesses the effect of the program on contraceptive use and birth spacing among titulares (female household heads) living in rural areas during the experimental period, 1998–2000, and duri…
