“…Of these, 7894 records were excluded at the title and abstract screening stage, and 97 full text records were assessed for eligibility ( Figure 1 ). A total of 84 of the 97 full text records were excluded for the following reasons: 26 did not measure smoking, nutrition, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and obesity outcomes; 23 did not use any form of video counseling intervention; 19 involved group video counseling and not individual video counseling [ 37 - 54 ]; 3 were protocol papers [ 55 - 57 ]; 8 were not randomized studies [ 58 - 65 ]; 2 studies were ongoing [ 32 , 66 ]; 1 was a conference abstract [ 67 ]; and 2 studies described a multicomponent intervention, and it was not possible to isolate the effect of real-time video counseling [ 68 , 69 ]. The remaining 13 eligible studies were included in the review.…”

“…This review identified only 1 study that found no significant difference between video counseling and telephone counseling on smoking cessation [ 31 ]. A Cochrane systematic review examined the effectiveness of real-time video counseling for smoking cessation only and found limited evidence that suggested no difference between video counseling and telephone counseling [ 32 ]. However, this systematic review excluded studies that measured smoking cessation <6 months postbaseline [ 32 ].…”

However, this systematic review excluded studies that measured smoking cessation <6 months postbaseline [ 32 ]. To the best of our knowledge, there are no other systematic reviews that have examined the effectiveness of individual real-time video support for addressing each of the risk factors for smoking, nutrition, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and obesity.…”

Background Real-time video communication technology allows virtual face-to-face interactions between the provider and the user, and can be used to modify risk factors for smoking, nutrition, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and obesity. No systematic reviews have examined the effectiveness of individual real-time video counseling for addressing each of the risk factors for smoking, nutrition, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and obesity. Objective This systematic review aims to examine the effectiveness of individually delivered real-time video counseling on risk factors for smoking, nutrition, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and obesity. Methods The MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), EMBASE (Excerpta Medica Database), PsycINFO, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus databases were searched for eligible studies published up to November 21, 2019. Eligible studies were randomized or cluster randomized trials that tested the effectiveness of individual real-time video communication interventions on smoking, nutrition, alcohol, physical activity, and obesity in any population or setting; the comparator was a no-intervention control group or any other mode of support (eg, telephone); and an English-language publication. Results A total of 13 studies were eligible. Four studies targeted smoking, 3 alcohol, 3 physical activity, and 3 obesity. In 2 of the physical activity studies, real-time video counseling was found to significantly increase physical activity when compared with usual care at week 9 and after 5 years. Two obesity studies found a significant change in BMI between a video counseling and a documents group, with significantly greater weight loss in the video counseling group than the in-person as well as the control groups. One study found that those in the video counseling group were significantly more likely than those in the telephone counseling group to achieve smoking cessation. The remaining studies found no significant differences between video counseling and telephone counseling or face-to-face counseling for smoking cessation, video counseling and face-to-face treatment on alcohol consumption, video counseling and no counseling for physical activity, and video counseling and face-to-face treatment on BMI. The global methodological quality rating was moderate in 1 physical activity study, whereas 12 studies had a weak global rating. Conclusions Video counseling is potentially more effective than a control group or other modes of support in addressing physical inactivity and obesity and is not less effective in modifying smoking and alcohol consumption. Further research is required to determine the relative benefits of video counseling in terms of other policy and practice decision-making factors such as costs and feasibility.

“…The use of sound and images can elicit emotions, better comprehension of abstract concepts, and improved retention of new information [17]. A systematic review of real-time video counseling for smoking cessation found no statistically significant treatment effects from telephone counseling, perhaps because of a paucity of high-quality trials and a lack of placebo controls [18]. In the present trial, we examined the effectiveness of a video-based smoking cessation intervention focusing on maternal and child health in promoting quitting among expectant fathers in China.…”

“…Similar to telephone-based support, real-time video communication technology (e.g., Skype, FaceTime) has the potential to eliminate barriers to accessing face-to-face smoking cessation care [8][9][10]. In 2018, there were up to 3.9 billion internet users worldwide, representing more than half of the world's population [11], with users being able to download video communication software for free [12].…”

This study compared the connectivity of video sessions to telephone sessions delivered to smokers in rural areas and whether remoteness and video app (video only) were associated with the connectivity of video or telephone sessions. Participants were recruited into a randomised trial where two arms offered smoking cessation counselling via: (a) real-time video communication software (201 participants) or (b) telephone (229 participants). Participants were offered up to six video or telephone sessions and the connectivity of each session was recorded. A total of 456 video sessions and 606 telephone sessions were completed. There was adequate connectivity of the video intervention in terms of no echoing noise (97.8%), no loss of internet connection during the session (88.6%), no difficulty hearing the participant (88.4%) and no difficulty seeing the participant (87.5%). In more than 94% of telephone sessions, there was no echoing noise, no difficulty hearing the participant and no loss of telephone line connection. Video sessions had significantly greater odds of experiencing connectivity difficulties than telephone sessions in relation to connecting to the participant at the start (odds ratio, OR = 5.13, 95% confidence interval, CI 1.88–14.00), loss of connection during the session (OR = 11.84, 95% CI 4.80–29.22) and hearing the participant (OR = 2.53, 95% CI 1.41–4.55). There were no significant associations between remoteness and video app and connectivity difficulties in the video or telephone sessions. Real-time video sessions are a feasible option for smoking cessation providers to provide support in rural areas.
