Developing the "Choosing Health" Digital Weight Loss and Maintenance Intervention: Intervention Mapping Study.

Background: Digital health promotion programs tailored to the individual are a potential cost-effective and scalable solution to enable self-management and provide support to people with excess body weight. However, solutions that are widely accessible, personalized, and theory- and evidence-based are still limited.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a digital behavior change program, Choosing Health, that could identify modifiable predictors of weight loss and maintenance for each individual and use these to provide tailored support.

The Importance of Intact Senses in Mating and Social Assessments Made by Deaf Individuals.

Social perception is a multimodal process involving vision and audition as central input sources for human social cognitive processes. However, it remains unclear how profoundly deaf people assess others in the context of mating and social interaction. The current study explored the relative importance of different sensory modalities (vision, smell, and touch) in assessments of opposite- and same-sex strangers.

Theory-based digital intervention to promote weight loss and weight loss maintenance (Choosing Health): protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Digital behavioural weight loss interventions have the potential to improve public health; however, these interventions are often not adequately tailored to the needs of the participants. This is the protocol for a trial that aims to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the programme as a means to promote weight loss and weight loss maintenance among overweight/obese adults.

Methods And Analysis: The proposed study is a two-group randomised controlled trial with a nested interrupted time series (ITS) within-person design.
