Reinforcing health management intervention effects with mhealth

Abstract

The combination of both digital and in-person interventions could lead to significant health behavior change, yet it is not clear what are the mechanisms by which mHealth intervention can help individuals sustain their health records and what factors could lead to long-term engagement with mHealth. The purpose of the study is to determine the potential impact of mHealth on reinforcing self-management knowledge, skills, and confidence gained through completion of an in-person health management program. Specifically, we assess the impact of engagement with mHealth on health behaviors maintenance and explore the role of virtual presence and perceived benefits in engagement with mHealth. Our mixed methods study will be conducted in two phases involving focus groups and semi-structured interviews with adolescents who completed an in-person health management program as well as their usage analytics from technology.
