“…Our analyses of random-prompt responses in the hours preceding events are a continuation of work we have done before (Epstein et al 2009), but this work is taking on more practical relevance as treatment begins to be delivered via text messaging (Abroms et al 2017; Lin et al 2015; Scott-Sheldon et al 2016) and smartphone apps (Gustafson et al 2014; Scott et al 2017). Interventions tailored to individual patients’ needs or delivered at just the right moment might have enhanced benefits.…”

Stress increased before stressful-event entries, but was less evident before drug use. Craving increased in the hours before drug use and stressful events-and remained elevated in the hours after either event. These results suggest a stronger link between drug use and craving than between drug use and stress. Lapses to drug use did not improve mood or reduce stress, at least not at our 1-h-bin time resolution, suggesting that if such benefits exist, they are brief.

Background Behavioral interventions for weight loss have been less effective in lower income and black women. These poorer outcomes may in part be related to these women having more frequent exposures to social and physical situations that are obesogenic, i.e., eating and sedentary cues or situations. Objectives Working with obese, lower income black and white women, Addressing People and Place Microenvironments (APP-Me) was designed to create awareness of self-behavior at times and places of frequent eating and sedentary behavior. Design APP-Me is being evaluated in a randomized controlled trial with 240 participants recruited from federally qualified health centers located in a single Midwestern city. All participants complete four weeks of ecological momentary assessments (EMA) of situations and behavior. At the end of the four weeks, participants are randomized to enhanced usual care (UC) or UC plus APP-Me. Methods APP-Me is an automated short messaging system (SMS). Messages are text, image, audio, or a combination, and are delivered to participants’ mobile devices with the intent of creating awareness at the times and places of frequent eating or sedentary behavior. Summary This project aims to create and test timely awareness messages in a subpopulation that has not responded well to traditional behavioral interventions for weight loss. Novel aspects of the study include the involvement of a low income population, the use of data on time and place of obesogenic behavior, and message delivery time tailored to an individual’s behavioral patterns.

“…However, our study findings remained significant in the intent‐to‐treat analysis, which included the eight patients who were lost to follow up. Engagement in the text messaging intervention was only 45%‐50%, however a prior text messaging for weight loss study showed similar response rates with an average of 47.6% response over their 6 months intervention period . Generalizability is also limited because of the study's short duration and narrow demographic profile.…”
