“…The sample was predominantly white college students enrolled in a health promotion study. Previous reports (22) found minimal differences between experimental and control and the sample was reflective of the four-year college population (25). However, additional research is needed to generalize beyond this sample.…”

“…It is a secondary analysis of data from a previous research study (Project WebHealth), which used an experimental design with random assignment to groups (22).

“…The intervention for a study done by Greene et al (Project WebHealth) was effective in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption and reducing decline in physical activity in college students (22) but the effect of goal setting was not assessed. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between goal setting and fruit and vegetable consumption as well as physical activity to see if there was a positive association between goal setting and behavior as part of a web-based intervention for young adults.…”

“…Few interventions exist addressing these topics within the university population, and take place either in the dining hall (33) or in a classroom setting (37) . Online interventions focusing on other targets conducted in this population were successful in motivating dietary behaviour changes (38)(39)(40)(41) . To the knowledge of the researchers, no online intervention exists motivating university students to adopt GE behaviours.…”

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of an online, interactive intervention, referred to as the Green Eating (GE) Project, to motivate university students to adopt GE behaviours. Design: The study was quasi-experimental and integrated into courses for credit/ extra credit. Courses were randomly stratified into experimental or non-treatment control. The 5-week intervention consisted of four modules based on different GE topics. Participants completed the GE survey at baseline (experimental, n 241; control, n 367) and post (experimental, n 187; control, n 304). The GE survey has been previously validated and consists of Transtheoretical Model constructs including stage of change (SOC), decisional balance (DB: Pros and Cons) and selfefficacy (SE: School and Home) as well as behaviours for GE. Modules contained basic information regarding each topic and knowledge items to assess content learning. Setting: The GE Project took place at a public university in the north-eastern USA. Subjects: Participants were full-time students between the ages of 18 and 24 years. Results: The GE Project was effective in significantly increasing GE behaviours, DB Pros, SE School and knowledge in experimental compared with control, but did not reduce DB Cons or increase SE Home. Experimental participants were also more likely to be in later SOC for GE at post testing. Conclusions: The GE Project was effective in increasing GE behaviours in university students. Motivating consumers towards adopting GE could assist in potentially mitigating negative consequences of the food system on the environment. Future research could tailor the intervention to participant SOC to further increase the effects or design the modules for other participants.

INTRODUCTIONOlder adults experiencing subjective cognitive decline (SCD) have a higher risk of dementia. Reducing this risk through behavioral interventions, which can increase emotional well‐being (mindfulness and compassion) and physical activity, is crucial in SCD.METHODSSCD‐Well is a multicenter, observer‐blind, randomized, controlled, superiority trial. Three hundred forty‐seven participants (mean [standard deviation] age: 72.7 [6.9] years; 64.6% women) were recruited from memory clinics in four European sites to assess the impact of an 8‐week caring mindfulness‐based approach for seniors (CMBAS) and a health self‐management program (HSMP) on mindfulness, self‐compassion, and physical activity.RESULTSCMBAS showed a significant within‐group increase in self‐compassion from baseline to post‐intervention and both a within‐ and between‐group increase to follow‐up visit (24 weeks). HSMP showed a significant within‐ and between‐group increase in physical activity from baseline to post‐intervention and to follow‐up visit.DISCUSSIONNon‐pharmacological interventions can differentially promote modifiable factors linked to healthy aging in older adults with SCD.
