“…Results showed that girls receiving immediate (weekly) incentives (5$) and those recruited via media would have higher, but not statistically significant, log-on rates than girls receiving delayed (program end) incentives or those recruited via non-media methods. In a successive paper, Thompson et al [87], as a secondary analysis of the trial assessing the effect of incentive schedule on log-on rates, also demonstrate an achieving of greater change in fruit, juice and vegetable consumption and physical activity than the previous study [89]. This was explained probably by the higher log-on rates as a measure of a major program use and by the use of an Internet-only approach.…”

“…Although implemented as a pilot study with only 39 girls, a marginally significant treatment-control group difference was detected in body mass index in favor of the intervention group, and diet changes were detected in the expected directions [62]. The child internet program, implemented subsequently as a stand-alone intervention, resulted in statistically significant dietary changes [63]. The parent internet program, modified in response to parent review and subsequently implemented as a stand-alone intervention, also detected parent behavior change [64].…”

Fruit and vegetable (FV) intake may protect against several chronic diseases, and the preferences and habits in relation to FV intake appear to form in early childhood. Child FV intake reflects many influences from multiple levels (e.g. internal to the child, family, school, and neighborhood). We have documented influences at each of these levels, but more definitive research in longitudinal samples remains to be conducted. Even though validated comprehensive models of influences on child FV intake in longitudinal studies are not available to guide intervention design for children of different ages, there has been an urgency to initiate chronic disease prevention interventions to mitigate the substantial health consequences. Effective interventions use known behavior change procedures to change the influences on FV intake enough to change the behavior, but few such interventions have demonstrated effectiveness at meaningful levels. Innovative methods need to be explored. Videogames for Health offer a medium that is attractive to children and shows promising results, especially for dietary behavior change. Exciting additional research is needed to clarify possible bidirectional influences between the environmental and individual influences on child intake with possible age-related differences in influence and in the optimal design of video games for dietary change.

“…This was based on previous research which used video game to encourage healthy life behavior to prevent diabetes on children. 12 The same thing was stated by Pender, Murdaugh and Parsons explaining that effectivity in healthcare promotions needed to be measured repetitively especially after just intervention was given (short term), after intervention was given where changes were observable (immediate term), and in time where life style changes were expected to happen (long term). Control group in this research also obtained the same intervention after week 10 posttest.…”

Abstract. Diarrhea is still the second highest cause of the death in children under five in the world. Innovation programs continue to be sought to reduce the number of child death due to diarrhea and help diarrhea prevention in Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of educational games called as Arbi Care on diarrhea prevention towards the knowledge of healthy behavior among preschoolers. This study used pre-post test control group design involving 120 participants whom fit the inclusion criteria. Participants were randomly divided into a control group of 60 participants and the intervention group consists of 60 participants. Data were analyzed using one-way MANOVA test. The results showed there were significant mean differences in knowledge of healthy behavior to prevent diarrhea between control group and intervention group. There was also a different increased inclination of mean score which is intervention group score higher than control group. Arbi Care is effective in improving the knowledge of healthy behavior to prevent diarrhea among preschoolers. Thus, Arbi Care is recommended to be the model to help prevent diarrhea in children using educational game.
