“…One reason for this difference in findings could be that this present subgroup analyses had only four studies. Two of the four studies [31, 43] in the subgroup analysis had small samples and low numbers of events, meaning that the pooled estimates were heavily weighted toward the other two studies. The original systematic review from which these studies were taken, however, meta-analysed eight studies with 8751 participants in total [42] demonstrating that such interventions probably have a beneficial effect in relation to alcohol.…”

Examining subgroup effects by socioeconomic status of public health interventions targeting multiple risk behaviour in adolescence

BackgroundMultiple risk behaviour (MRB) refers to two or more risk behaviours such as smoking, drinking alcohol, poor diet and unsafe sex. Such behaviours are known to co-occur in adolescence. It is unknown whether MRB interventions are equally effective for young people of low and high socioeconomic status (SES). There is a need to examine these effects to determine whether MRB interventions have the potential to narrow or widen inequalities.MethodsTwo Cochrane systematic reviews that examined interventions to reduce adolescent MRB were screened to identify universal interventions that reported SES. Study authors were contacted, and outcome data stratified by SES and intervention status were requested. Risk behaviour outcomes alcohol use, smoking, drug use, unsafe sex, overweight/obesity, sedentarism, peer violence and dating violence were examined in random effects meta-analyses and subgroup analyses conducted to explore differences between high SES and low SES adolescents.ResultsOf 49 studies reporting universal interventions, only 16 also reported having measured SES. Of these 16 studies, four study authors provided data sufficient for subgroup analysis. There was no evidence of subgroup differences for any of the outcomes. For alcohol use, the direction of effect was the same for both the high SES group (RR 1.26, 95% CI: 0.96, 1.65, p = 0.09) and low SES group (RR 1.14, 95% CI: 0.98, 1.32, p = 0.08). The direction of effect was different for smoking behaviour in favour of the low SES group (RR 0.83, 95% CI: 0.66, 1.03, p = 0.09) versus the high SES group (RR 1.16, 95% CI: 0.82, 1.63, p = 0.39). For drug use, the direction of effect was the same for both the high SES group (RR 1.29, 95% CI: 0.97, 1.73, p = 0.08) and the low SES group (RR 1.28, 95% CI: 0.84, 1.96, p = 0.25).ConclusionsThe majority of studies identified did not report having measured SES. There was no evidence of subgroup difference for all outcomes analysed among the four included studies. There is a need for routine reporting of demographic information within studies so that stronger evidence of effect by SES can be demonstrated and that interventions can be evaluated for their impact on health inequalities.

Exercise is complementary to cancer prevention, care, and survivorship. Exercise is considered safe and effective during and after cancer treatment when conducted under supervision and in controlled environments. Less is known about the safety and effectiveness of unsupervised, home-based exercise programs. Implementing methods of monitoring and reporting can provide more information and potentially enhance exercise effects and program integrity. This paper describes the development of REMEDY, a remote monitoring sensor system consisting of a wireless body-area network (WBAN), cloud database, mobile assisted application, and a set of intelligent algorithms. REMEDY can provide real-time exercise monitoring, participant feedback, and quality assessment that may lead to safer and more effective exercise programs and exercises for cancer patients and survivors.
