Based on a previous successful text messaging smoking cessation intervention, we hypothesized that a multimedia mobile phone programme that utilises observational learning (from social cognitive theory) could help young adult smokers to quit smoking. Objective: To develop and test a multimedia smoking cessation intervention delivered solely by mobile phone. Methods: A role modelling... Facebook: An Innovative Influenza Pandemic Early Warning System Background: The common influenza virus imposes global monetary and productivity costs and cause mortality among the vulnerable. Novel influenza viruses like H5N1 can spread rapidly in an increasingly globalized world. Surveillance is crucial to identify and effectively contain outbreaks. In most developed countries traditional sentinel monitoring with virological sampling has a 1-2 week reporting lag. Developing countries are less well co-ordinated. Facebook an online social networking site w... Medicine 2.0'11 (Stanford University, USA)Issues in Mobile Health Panel Mobile phones have had the most rapid uptake of any technology to date. mHealth, and specifically the use of mobile phones for health interventions, is a relatively new field receiving a lot of attention. Research has shown some benefit with respect to smoking cessation, medication reminders, and the management of long-term conditions between clinic visits. Robyn Whittaker has been involved in developing, testing and implementing mobile phone population health interventions in New Zealand. In... Medicine 2.0'12 (Boston, USA)Lessons on Texting 4 Health from an Expert MHealth (Panel) The use of text messaging for health information and health interventions, particularly targeting behavior modification, is becoming more common around the world. There is a slowly growing body of evidence for their effectiveness in some fields, such as supporting smoking cessation. However there is little published information on how effective text messaging programmes were developed. This panel brings together international academic and practical expertise on developing and testing text mes... Medicine 2.0'14 Summit & World Congress (Maui, Hawaii, USA)Panel on Adapting MHealth Interventions for New Contexts & Countries Particularly in the field of smoking cessation, text messaging (SMS) has been proven as an effective method for supporting healthy behaviour change. Most of the research and development to date has taken place in developed countries with well supported tobacco control policies, regulation, education and media campaigns. More recently, researchers have been investigating the potential to transfer these proven effective SMS interventions to other countries with very different tobacco control an... Effect of a Smartphone Intervention on Quitting Smoking in a Young Adult Population of Smokers: Randomized Controlled Trial Study Protocol Background: Tobacco use remains the number one cause of preventable chronic disease and death in developed countries worldwide. In Canada, smoking rates are highest among young adults. Despite that the majority of young adult smokers indicate wanting to quit, smoking rates among this age demographic have yet to decline. Helping young adults quit smoking continues to be a public health priority. Digital mobile technologies present a promising media for reaching this population with smoking ces...
