Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Multiple behavior changes in diet and activity: a randomized controlled trial using mobile technology.
Many patients exhibit multiple chronic disease risk behaviors. Research provides little information about advice that can maximize simultaneous health behavior changes. ⋯ Remote coaching supported by mobile technology and financial incentives holds promise to improve diet and activity. Targeting fruits/vegetables and sedentary leisure together maximizes overall adoption and maintenance of multiple healthy behavior changes.
