Current interventions to reduce obesity have limited success. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of successful champions (non health professional/community leaders) and to assess how these relate to acceptability ratings of an obesity reduction intervention-the Waist Disposal Challenge. A total of 200 peer participants completed questionnaires. Positive ratings of champions' performance were significantly correlated with perception…

An exploration of decision aid effectiveness
Open AccessEsther L Davis, Esther Davis et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2015
BACKGROUND: Decision aids (DAs) are non-directive communication tools that help patients make value-consistent health-care decisions.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of promoting affective vs. deliberative processing on DA effectiveness based on dual-process theory. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANT…

Open AccessBarbara Ann Mullan, Barbara Mullan et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

Experimental Methods in Health Psychology in Australia
Open AccessBarbara Ann Mullan, Barbara Mullan et al.ARTICLEAustralian Psychologist2014Referências: 4
The purpose of this article is to explore the importance of laboratory‐based experimental research within health psychology in Australia in bridging the gap between correlational research and large‐scale population interventions. While correlational research is useful in the early stages of investigation design, it does not necessarily provide clear information on the causal mechanisms of behaviour change. On the other hand, conducting population…
