Abstract:

BACKGROUND. Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours such as physical inactivity are global risk factors for chronic disease. Despite this, a substantial proportion of the UK population fail to achieve the recommended levels of physical activity. This may partly be because the health messages presently disseminated are not sufficiently potent to evoke behaviour change. There has been an exponential growth in the availability of digital health technologies within the consumer marketplace. This influx of technology has allowed people to self-monitor a plethora of health indices, such as their physical act

Abstract:

People with psoriasis are known to engage in high levels of unhealthy lifestyle behaviours which may lead to poorer psoriasis outcomes and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Thus, helping individuals with psoriasis understand the link between behaviours and health risks, that is health risk communication, and direct support for lifestyle behaviour change (LBC) are important aspects in optimal management of psoriasis, a long-term inflammatory skin condition. There are two aspects of the literature that remain unclear. First, whether adequate support is given to patients to enabl

The vast number of individuals under correctional supervision in the United States has been an area of concern for decades. The correctional population as a whole is made up of approximately six million individuals, with approximately four million serving community sentences. It is essential to provide adequate services and resources to those serving community sentences due to the large number serving such sentences. To add to the concern is the immense number of offenders with mental illness under correctional supervision. Often, offenders with mental illness receive psychiatric services, but

Over time, our lifestyles accrete habits and become more rigid. Major life events tend to provide opportunities for reflection and change, but are infrequent. When looking at a problem like commuting — the health, environmental, and economic effects of the majority of commuters driving alone — we tend to see big yet difficult solutions: changes in infrastructure and policy (like more convenient bus routes, more separate bike paths, and more expensive gas), it is often argued, will convince us to try something else.

Non-communicable diseases, such as coronary heart disease (CHD), are the leading cause of death globally, and their link to lifestyle behaviours has led to national and global investment in healthy-lifestyle promotion.

Critical research identifies the potential for judgement and blame through this individualistic construction, suggesting an alternative framework is needed.
