Mental health: the prefect subject for app useNIHR_MindTech
This document discusses the potential for mobile apps in mental healthcare. It notes that mental health issues affect 1 in 4 people in the UK and cost the economy £105 billion per year. Apps have potential to help close treatment gaps by providing evidence-based therapies digitally like CBT. However, there are challenges around evaluating the thousands of existing mental health apps and ensuring user safety. The document outlines examples of current NHS apps for medication tracking, peer support, and improving access to services. It envisions a future with more user-led digital tools that blend technology with traditional care to provide long-term support and rapid learning.
Within the context of public health, evidence-informed decision making (EIDM) is the process of finding, distilling and disseminating the best available evidence from research, context and experience, and using that evidence to inform and improve public health practice and policy. It involves assessing the quality of the research evidence you find, applying the best available evidence to your question, problem or issue, and evaluating its impact on practice.
Developed by Health EvidenceTM, the Evidence-Informed Decision Making Checklist helps public health professionals succinctly document how you and/or your team worked through the EIDM process so you can share that information with senior management. Having a Checklist on file can help your organization implement the results of your evidence.
The fillable checklist includes such critical elements as:
•Was a clear answerable search question developed?
•Was a comprehensive search strategy employed to find the best available evidence to address this question?
•Was quality assessment conducted on relevant evidence?
•What were the results of the review of the evidence?

Videoconferencing as a therapeutic tool for victimsDeniseDJ
This document discusses using videoconferencing as a therapeutic tool for victims. It proposes providing online counseling via synchronous videoconferencing to rural populations who have experienced domestic violence and sexual assault. Research shows this approach can effectively deliver trauma-focused therapy and reduce PTSD and depression symptoms. The benefits of online counseling include increased access, reduced geographical barriers, and lower costs compared to in-person sessions. Privacy, legal and ethical guidelines must still be considered.
The document contains information from surveys of TUD TUE TUT alumni on average annual income by years since graduation, most inspiring managers as nominated in a December poll, most admired employers, best secondary employment benefits, preferred years to start a new job, and a note about career resources on talentstorm.nl for Dutch technical university professionals.
Audience research involves studying the intended and actual consumers of media texts. Key concepts include understanding the target audience and their characteristics like gender, age, and background. It is important for media producers to understand their audience in order to create effective content. There are different types of audiences, including passive audiences that simply consume media, and active audiences that are more engaged with media and bring their own interpretations. Research methods can be primary, such as interviews, or secondary, involving analysis of existing research.

The document describes the design and evaluation of a text messaging-based smoking cessation program for young adults called Stop My Smoking (SMS) USA. Some key points:
- The program involved 6 weeks of tailored text messages about quitting smoking, sent 1-5 times per day depending on where participants were in the quitting process. Content was tailored based on pre-quit, early quit, late quit, and relapse stages.
- An evaluation of 164 participants found the intervention group had higher rates of continuous abstinence than the control at 4 weeks (19% vs 30%) but not at 12 weeks (40% vs 40%).
- Participants generally found the messages supportive and helpful in quitting smoking
A study design proposal for incorporating photos into just-in-time interventions for smoking cessation. The presentation was given for a health communication seminar course in Fall 2016.
The txt2stop trial assessed the effectiveness of an automated smoking cessation program delivered via mobile phone text messaging. Over 5,800 smokers were randomly assigned to either receive the text messaging intervention providing motivational messages and support or control messages unrelated to quitting. The primary outcome of biochemically verified continuous abstinence at 6 months was significantly higher in the intervention group at 10.7% compared to 4.9% in the control group. The text messaging program significantly improved smoking cessation rates at 6 months and should be considered for inclusion in smoking cessation services.
Artificial Intelligence for Societal ImpactAmit Sharma
Artificial intelligence can help address societal problems in areas like healthcare, education, financial inclusion and more. The document discusses two examples: (1) Using machine learning to help tuberculosis health workers prioritize patients by predicting adherence and outcomes, and (2) Analyzing online mental health forums to understand effective peer support and identify "moments of change". While correlations can be misleading, focused work with domain experts can produce models that achieve accuracy over 70% in predicting moments of change. Overall, AI is an amplifier that must be developed responsibly with societal impact in mind.

This document summarizes a presentation on using text messaging to support addiction treatment. It discusses two projects using text messaging interventions for smoking cessation - one in Turkey and one in the US. The presentation reviewed the rationale for using cell phones as an intervention delivery method, considerations for designing text messaging programs, and potential target populations. It noted that text messaging allows for scalable, low-cost interventions that can reach people in their daily lives, but technology alone is not sufficient and successful programs still require understanding the target audience and behavior.
This document summarizes the beta test results of an SMS-based smoking cessation program for young adults called SMS USA. The program used text messaging to provide support through features like "text buddies" who encouraged and supported each other, and "text crave" messages that were sent immediately in response to cravings. 12 young adult smokers between ages 18-25 participated. Results found that the social support and craving support features were well received and should be considered for inclusion in future programs targeting young adults. Recruiting through Craigslist also proved effective in reaching this age group. The program showed potential and warrants further evaluation.
ProCor conducted a survey of its subscribers to obtain feedback and determine how to better disseminate its cardiovascular health content globally. The survey received 97 responses.

44. In the US, high adoption of electronic health records (EHR),
especially among large clinical practices.
Meaningful use /ACA requires adoption of EHR and inclusion of
smoking status field
For smoking cessation, could be used :
During clinical visit, to remind clinicians to record tobacco use, to
give brief advice to quit, to prescribe medications and to refer to
cessation counseling.
To create a registry of smokers for outreach
Link to the provision of electronic cessation programs
Do they actually help patients quit?

58. Five broad purposes for use of social media in public
health/health promotion have been proposed: (a)
communicate
with consumers for market insights (Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2010, Kruse,
2010); (b) establish and promote a brand with
consumers
(Kruse, 2010); (c) disseminate critical information
(CDC,
2010); (d) expand reach to include broader, more
diverse
audiences (CDC, 2010); and (e) foster public
engagement
and partnerships with consumers (CDC, 2010).
Types of uses in health
promotion
59. social media as evidenced by the finding that 60% of
state health departments now use at least one
application
(Thackeray, VanWagenen, Koch Smith, Neiger, &
Prier,
2011). In addition, one third of adults use social
media to
access health information, and nearly 80% of
physicians
who consult with patients online use social media
channels
to create or share medical content (Hughes, 2010).
Use of social media for
health (Neiger et al. 2013)
61. Game
A game is a rule-based activity that involves
challenge to reach a goal and that provides
feedback on progress made toward that goal
(Leiberman 2011)
Rules
Goals
Feedback
62. What is Gamification?
Game design principles applied to
non-games
Goal: engage with the audience
Goal: encourage desired behaviors
Result: mastery and autonomy
Result: transform routine into
excitement
63. Players told to crush as many virtual cigarettes as possible. Players encountered the
targets while wandering through a fictional medieval castle depicted on a computer
screen. By the end of the 12-week support program, 15% of the cigarette crushers said
they quit smoking, compared with just 2% of the ball-gripping group. (Girard 2009)
