A Text-Messaging and Pedometer Program to Promote Physical Activity in People at High Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: The Development of the PROPELS Follow-On Support Program

Abstract: BackgroundMobile technologies for health (mHealth) represent a promising strategy for reducing type 2 diabetes (T2DM) risk. The PROPELS trial investigates whether structured group-based education alone or supplemented with a follow-on support program combining self-monitoring with pedometers and tailored text-messaging is effective in promoting and maintaining physical activity among people at high risk of T2DM.ObjectiveThis paper describes the iterative development of the PROPELS follow-on support program and… Show more

“…Of the 32 included publications, 27 in total described an intervention [ 32 , 33 , 35 , 37 - 45 , 47 - 49 , 51 - 58 , 60 - 63 ], 17 of which [ 32 , 35 , 37 , 39 , 41 , 43 - 45 , 48 , 49 , 51 - 53 , 57 , 60 , 61 , 63 ] evaluated the effects of that intervention on health outcomes. Of these 17 studies, 16 were RCTs (highest level in the hierarchy of study designs [ 65 ]) and 1 was a quasi-RCT study (second highest level) [ 43 ].…”

“…Additionally, 25 publications [ 32 - 36 , 38 - 43 , 46 - 51 , 54 - 59 , 62 , 63 ] included results on usability, 18 of which [ 32 , 33 , 35 , 36 , 38 - 43 , 48 , 49 , 51 , 54 , 56 , 57 , 62 , 63 ] were based on people’s experiences after having used the technology and 6 of which were based on expectations [ 34 , 46 , 50 , 55 , 58 , 59 ]. Only 1 study addressed usability results based on experiences as well as those based on expectations [ 47 ]. As for adherence, 8 publications included information about the intended use of the intervention [ 40 , 41 , 45 , 47 , 51 , 53 , 60 , 63 ], and 5 publications included information about expectations regarding components that could increase adherence [ 36 , 46 , 47 , 59 , 62 ] (see Multimedia Appendix 3 for a summary of the included publications).…”

“…Newer evidence is starting to accumulate on the potential benefits of other motivational tools and techniques. Examples of these include reinforcement, such as providing direct, instantaneous rewards (monetary or token-based) for goal completion (132), textmessaging (133,134), mobile applications, social media and video games (116,135). However, further higher level evidence is needed to demonstrate their benefits for both physical activity and diabetesrelated outcomes (129,(136)(137)(138).…”

“…To reinforce and monitor participants' progress in T2DM management, weekly booster calls will be delivered over the following 2 months. Given personalized messages with tailored feedback and frequency are more effective in promoting behavior changes [33], booster calls are designed to address participant's behavior change barriers and call frequency are varied by participants' progress. During the first call, trained investigators will examine the extent to which the patients have fulfilled behavior change action plans corresponding to the four education sessions, and provide motivational, informative and problem-solving feedbacks accordingly.…”
