“…Individual unhealthy life habits, and barriers and motivations for exercise have to be considered. In our previous study, we also suggested that more individual and tailored activation with appropriate feedback message tactics is needed [ 43 ].…”

BackgroundSedentary behavior is associated with poor well-being in youth with adverse trajectories spanning to adulthood. Still, its determinants are poorly known. Our aim was to profile sedentary and non-sedentary young men and to clarify their differences in a population-based setting.MethodsA total of 616 men (mean age 17.9, SD 0.6) attending compulsory conscription for military service completed a questionnaire on health, health behavior, socioeconomic situation and media use. They underwent a physical (body composition, muscle and aerobic fitness) and medical examination. Profiles were formed by principal component analysis (PCA).ResultsA total of 30.1 % men were sedentary (daily leisure-time sitting ≥5 h) and 28.9 % non-sedentary (sitting ≤2 h). The sedentary men had more body fat, more depressive symptoms, but lower fitness and life satisfaction than non-sedentary men. However, according to PCA, profiles of unhealthy eating, life-dissatisfaction, and gaming were detected both among sedentary and non-sedentary men, as well as high self-rated PA and motives to exercise.ConclusionDeterminants of sedentary and non-sedentary lifestyles were multiple and partially overlapping. Recognizing individual patterns and underlying factors of the sedentary lifestyle is essential for tailored health promotion and interventions.

“…Some modifications were EFFECT OF TAILORED, MOBILE INTERVENTION ON LIFE SATISFACTION AND SELF-RATED HEALTH 10 made to the design guide derived from the one designed by Nigg et al [34]. Furthermore, based on research on feedback perceptions of young men in different stages of exercise behavior change [35], message tactics that include comparison, namely normative and ipsative strategies, were used only in the more advanced stages (action, maintenance). The stage-tailored messages were tested in a 3month pilot intervention study in 2011 with a volunteer sample of young Finnish men (n=129) [36].…”

Background: Online behavior-change programs may increase physical activity in adolescents, but their effects on subjective health and wellbeing are not well known.Purpose: We investigated the effects of a mobile intervention on life satisfaction and self-rated health among young men.Methods: In this population-based study, 496 men (17.8y, SD 0.6y) participated in a 6-month trial. They were randomized into an intervention (n=250) and a control group (n=246). Only the intervention group had access to a tailored mobile service. Life satisfaction and self-rated health were inquired about at baseline and at the end of the trial.Results: Life satisfaction improved in the intervention (p<0.001) and control group (p=0.01). Life satisfaction was most likely to improve among men with low baseline satisfaction (OR 13.8; 95% CI 3.7 -51.8) and mood-related exercise motive (2.5 (1.1 -5.6)). There were no statistically significant changes in self-rated health, but those who reported poor health at baseline (OR 9.6; 95% CI 3.7 -24.9) and improved self-rated fitness during the trial (4.2 (1.5 -11.9)) were more likely to gain improvements in self-rated health.Conclusion: The mobile intervention was most beneficial for men with low life satisfaction and poor self-rated health at baseline.

“…Deciding on a universal design for a final result report is a challenging task. Individual characteristics influence how participants interact with health information, making it difficult to meet everyone's needs [58]. Information exists within a continuum, and individuals interpret and reflect on the information based on their own experiences, feelings, assumptions and beliefs [24,29].…”

Using low-cost portable air quality (AQ) monitoring devices is a growing trend in personal exposure studies enabling a higher spatio-temporal resolution and identifying acute exposure to high concentrations. Comprehension of results by participants is not guaranteed in exposure studies. However, information on personal exposure is multiplex, which calls for participant involvement to maximise communication output and comprehension. This study describes a user centred design (UCD) approach for preparing a final report for participants involved in a multi-sensor personal exposure monitoring study performed in seven cities within the EU Horizon 2020 ICARUS project. Using a combination of human-centred design (HCD), human-information interaction (HII) and design thinking approaches, we iteratively included participants in the framing and design of the final report. User needs were mapped using a survey (n=82), and feedback on the draft report was obtained from a focus group (n=5). User requirements were assessed and validated using a post-campaign survey (n=31). The UCD research was conducted amongst participants in Ljubljana, Slovenia and the results report was distributed among the participating cities across Europe. The feedback received made it clear that the final report was well-received and helped participants better understand the influence of individual behaviours on personal exposure to air pollution.
