“…The outcomes of the study by Chang et al (45) which included elements of the SCT in order to guide the intervention, showed that participants in the intervention group reported significant less depression symptoms than the control group. Results from two of the six included studies (48,49) showed no significant group differences in depression symptoms. Jones et al (46) who investigated whether participants' mental health was associated with the rate of attendance and engagement with the behavioral weight management program (WW) and trial (WRAP) found that a reduction in depression symptoms was associated with higher participation rates in WW sessions.…”

“…On top of that, it underlines the relevance of the inclusion of cognitive features in obese treatment in order to achieve changes in the cognitive distortions, experienced by individuals with obesity. In contrast to such interventions, those focusing primarily on education through materials, i.e., non-interactive strategies showed less success in reducing depression symptoms (48,49). Thus, interactive modules as used in the SHED-IT recharge intervention, conducted by Young et al (42), that combined activities with educative materials, seemed to be particularly effective in the reduction of depression symptoms.…”

“…Besides that, it became apparent that study participants in the two interventions that did not show a significant difference in the depression symptoms experienced a limited user acceptance of the eHealth interventions (48,49) compared to study participants in the other studies included in this review. This is in line with research which concluded, that the user acceptance for eHealth modalities is a vital precondition for such interventions to be effective and integrated in clinical settings (52).…”

“…Marcus et al (48) investigated the efficacy of a culturally and linguistically adapted, individually tailored, Internet-based physical activity intervention compared to a Spanish-speaking wellness contact Internet control group. Participants randomly assigned to the physical activity Internet intervention received access to a study website including the following features: 1) self-monitoring of minutes of activity and steps; 2) goal setting with graphs to compare goals to minutes recorded; 3) message board to foster social support among participants; 4) "Ask the Expert" where participants could anonymously ask questions to a PhD level researcher and 5) online resources such as walking route maps and free exercise videos.…”

IntroductionObesity and depression are inter-related health concerns, demanding a high level of treatment and costs in the health care system. The development of eHealth interventions that simultaneously address obesity and mental health can be supportive in this regard. However, evidence of the efficacy of eHealth interventions in the treatment of depression symptoms in individuals with obesity is lacking. The aim of this systematic literature review is to evaluate the efficacy of existing eHealth interventions for individuals with obesity that target depression symptoms.MethodsWe systematically searched electronic databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus) to identify studies published in English between January 2016 and January 2023, that focused on eHealth interventions, targeting depression symptoms in individuals with obesity people. Exclusion criteria were study objectives that (1) focused specifically on one or more metabolic comorbidities of individuals with obesity, e.g., hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes; (2) focused specifically on eating disorders comorbidities e.g., binge eating disorder, and (3) focused specifically on patients before or after bariatric surgery.ResultsThe database search identified 214 records. Six articles were included in this review. Sample sizes ranged from 70 to 1267 participants of ages 18-60 years. All included studies were randomized controlled trials. Two of the six included studies were web-based interventions guided either by medical doctors or psychologists. All interventions included video, printed materials, and interactive parts of which two studies integrated elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Social Cognitive Therapy. The findings showed that eHealth treatment services, supported and guided throughout the intervention had high acceptance and efficacy in the reduction of depression symptoms among individuals with obesity.ConclusionEHealth interventions that address and target both mental and physical health with interactive strategies calls for better efficacy in the reduction of depression symptoms. Future eHealth interventions that target depression symptoms in individuals with obesity should integrate digital strategies that address both mental and physical health through interactive modules.

Latinas report low levels of physical activity (PA) and disproportionate risk of lifestyle-related diseases. Enhancements to evidence-based PA interventions may increase efficacy; however, uptake of interventions will likely depend on costs. To describe costs and examine the cost-effectiveness of two interventions for helping Latinas reach national aerobic PA guidelines. Adult Latinas (N = 199) were randomly assigned to an Original theory-based mail-delivered intervention or an Enhanced version with texting and additional calls and materials. Meeting PA guidelines was measured by the 7-Day PA Recall interview at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Intervention costs were estimated from a payer perspective. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) were calculated as the additional cost per participant meeting guidelines in the Enhanced versus Original intervention. At baseline, no participants met guidelines. After 6 months, 57% and 44% in the Enhanced and Original arms met guidelines, respectively; at 12 months, rates fell to 46% and 36%. Cost per person of the Enhanced and Original interventions were $184 and $173 at 6 months, respectively, and $234 and $203 at 12 months. The primary additional expense in the Enhanced arm was staff time. ICERs were $87 per additional person meeting guidelines at 6 months (per sensitivity analysis, $26 if delivered by volunteers and $114 by medical assistants), and $317 at 12 months (sensitivity analysis: $57 and $434). Incremental costs per person meeting guidelines in the Enhanced arm were modest and could be warranted given the potential health benefits of meeting PA guidelines.
