“…21, 22 However, to date, few young adults obesity prevention studies have used a multiple behavior approach. One study conducted on 13 large university campuses used online mini-educational lessons to promote a non-diet approach to healthy weight maintenance; the 10-week intervention focused on eating, physical activity and stress and also included sleep content.…”

Excess weight gain tends to occur in young adulthood. However, research examining effective weight-related interventions for this age group has been limited. As one of seven trials in the EARLY Trials consortium (Early Adult Reduction of weight through LifestYle intervention), the CHOICES Study (Choosing Healthy Options in College Environments and Settings) tested effects of a technology-integrated, young adult weight gain prevention intervention. It was a randomized controlled trial with assessments at baseline (2011) and 4-, 12- and 24-months post-intervention initiation and included 441 participants (ages 18-35) who were students at three Minnesota community colleges. The 24-month intervention included a 1-credit academic course and social networking and support online intervention. This analysis examined effects on 12 secondary behavioral outcomes across three domains: diet (fast food, sugary beverages, breakfast, at-home meal preparation), physical activity/screen time (minutes and energy expenditure in leisure time physical activity, television viewing, leisure time computer use) and sleep (hours of sleep, time required to fall asleep, days not getting enough rest, difficulty staying awake). The intervention resulted in significant reductions in fast food (p=0.007) but increases in difficulty staying awake (p=0.015). There was limited evidence of other behavior changes at 4 months (0.05

“…Thus, to effectively personalize care to rural individuals and communities, interventions cannot be singularly focused, but rather, must consider the multiple influences to have the greatest chance of success. Indeed, in recent years, multiple health behavior change interventions have grown in popularity, because they attend to the complex realities of people's lives and address related behaviors and risk factors simultaneously (Evers & Quintiliani, 2013). Importantly in this rural sample, we found that factors previously identified as opportunities may indeed be risks, adding an additional layer of complexity when considering the development of interventions that attend to several influences simultaneously.…”

Using structural equation modeling, this study examined interactions among factors traditionally associated with health outcomes within a sample of rural low-income mothers. Prior research has established that education, employment, income, marital status, and health insurance coverage independently predict health outcomes. However, no studies have examined the simultaneous influence of these factors as conceptualized from an ecological systems perspective. Results indicate that when the multiple factors are considered simultaneously, different effects emerge. Implications are that the context in which these women live and the interactions between and among key influencing factors must be considered when addressing health challenges in rural areas.

“…In March 2013, another special collection of MHBC articles were published in this journal, Translational Behavioral Medicine. These recent contributions strengthen the MHBC field by documenting the extension of MHBC interventions to new populations (e.g., youth juvenile systems, worksites), by examining longitudinal relationships, and by expanding on methods used in MHBC research (e.g., longitudinal studies, studies using national data, comparing and quantifying change) [36]. Despite these accomplishments, MHBC approaches remain understudied where the growth of the MHBC field may be stunted by inconsistent and varied measurement, methodological issues, and a lack of understanding of behavior change theory.…”

Multiple health behavior change (MHBC) approaches are understudied. The purpose of this study is to provide strategic MHBC research direction. This cross-sectional study contacted participants through the Society of Behavioral Medicine email listservs and rated the importance of 24 MHBC research topics (1 = not at all important, 5 = extremely important) separately for general and underserved populations. Participants (n = 76) were 79 % female; 76 % White, 10 % Asian, 8 % African American, 5 % Hispanic, and 1 % Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander. Top MHBC research priorities were predictors of behavior change and the sustainability, long-term effects, and dissemination/translation of interventions for both populations. Recruitment and retention of participants (t(68) = 2.17, p = 0.000), multi-behavioral indices (t(68) = 3.54, p = 0.001), and measurement burden (t(67) = 5.04, p = 0.001) were important for the underserved. Results identified the same top research priorities across populations. For the underserved, research should emphasize recruitment, retention, and measurement burden.
