“…Such self-administered interventions are viable alternatives to usual care because these interventions offer a means to extend reach, efficiency, and efficacy. Other advantages are that these interventions can be shared, disseminated, reused, and could include peer helpers to help administer programs (Black & Cameron, 1997;Black & Scott, 1996).…”

A descriptive literature review was conducted to examine conceptual and methodological issues of interventions aimed at improving both physical activity and diet behaviors according to critical elements established by Sidani and Braden (1998). The method of the review of 30 articles describing 17 intervention studies focused on the following nine elements: (a) relevance of the intervention to the targeted outcome; (b) theoretical components of the intervention; (c) intervention components; (d) complexity, strength, and integrity of the intervention; (e) extraneous factors; (f) adherence to the intervention and retention; (g) reliability and validity of the outcome measures; (h) expected outcomes; and (i) effectiveness of the intervention. The results were that the interventions were relevant and included multiple components, but most interventions lacked an explicit theoretical framework. Adherence to the intervention and retention were problems. Overall, to varying degrees and for those completing the programs, the interventions were effective for increasing physical activity, lowering dietary fat, weight loss, and reducing risk for illness. Twelve "lessons learned" evolved that have practical and research implications. One salient lesson and future priority is to incorporate theory to reveal the intervention content and mechanisms to modify physical activity and dietary behaviors concurrently so that future interventions are more efficacious and efficient. Another lesson revealed the need for more sensitive measures, and examination of ways to improve intervention adherence and retention and prevent relapse.

“…Research has suggested that personalized feedback interventions based on health parameters can lead to a so called “boomerang effect” to motivate behavior change or maintenance ( Schultz et al, 2007 ) and fits within the long established intervention of John Snow ( Black and Johnson, 2015 ) and Occam's Razor (parsimony) ( Porta, 2008 ), which also is known as minimal intervention ( Abood et al, 2002 , Black and Cameron, 2002 ). This phenomenon occurs when, after personalized feedback is delivered (comparison of individual data to the health parameter percentiles), an individual's performance shifts closer to the established parameter, regardless of whether performance status was initially above or below the percentile ( Rimal and Real, 2005 ).…”

This study aimed to provide physiologic health risk parameters by gender and age among college students enrolled in a U.S. Midwestern University to promote chronic disease prevention and ameliorate health. A total of 2615 college students between 18 and 25 years old were recruited annually using a series of cross-sectional designs during the spring semester over an 8-year period. Physiologic parameters measured included body mass index (BMI), percentage body fat (%BF), blood serum cholesterol (BSC), and systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure. These measures were compared to data from NHANES to identify differences in physiologic parameters among 18–25 year olds in the general versus college-enrolled population. A quantitative instrument assessed health behaviors related to physical activity, diet, and licit drug use. Results suggest that average physiologic parameters from 18 to 25 year olds enrolled in college were significantly different from parameters of 18–25 year olds in the general population. Generally, men reported higher percentiles for BMI, SBP, and DBP than women, but lower %BF and BSC percentiles than women at each age. SBP and DBP significantly increased with age and alcohol use. Students in the lowest (5th) and highest percentiles (95th and 75th), for most age groups, demonstrated DBP, BMI, and %BF levels potentially problematic for health and future development of chronic disease based on percentiles generated for their peer group. Newly identified physiologic parameters may be useful to practitioners serving college students 18–25 years old from similar institutions in determining whether behavior change or treatment interventions are appropriate.

“…A self-administered intervention was conceived through this process with the following mechanics aligned to the selected BCTs: Self-directed Instructions and Feedback, Objective-based Tasks, Tiered Instructions, Compliance Evaluation, and Tailored Messaging System. Studies further showed that self-administered interventions, though simple, were sufficient enough to achieve desired outcomes (Black & Cameron, 1997).…”
