Intervention
Health4Life: a school-based eHealth intervention targeting multiple health behaviour change (MHBC).
Research question
Does Health4Life impact secondary outcomes of self-reported intentions regarding six lifestyle behaviours in adolescents (alcohol use, tobacco smoking, screentime, physical activity, discretionary beverage consumption,...
Background
Digital, or eHealth, interventions are highly promising approaches to help adolescents improve their health behaviours and reduce their risk of chronic disease. However, they often have low uptake and retention. There is also a paucity of high-quality research into the predictors of eHealth engagement, and a lack of studies that have sys...
Objectives
To investigate the effectiveness of a school‐based multiple health behaviour change e‐health intervention for modifying risk factors for chronic disease (secondary outcomes).
Study design
Cluster randomised controlled trial.
Setting, participants
Students (at baseline [2019]: year 7, 11–14 years old) at 71 Australian public, independen...
Parenting practices such as parental monitoring are known to positively impact dietary behaviours in offspring. However, links between adolescent‐perceived parental monitoring and dietary outcomes have rarely been examined and never in an Australian context. This study investigated whether adolescent‐perceived parental monitoring is associated with...
Objective:
Research shows highly palatable foods can elicit addictive eating behaviours or 'food addiction'. Early adolescence is theorised to be a vulnerable period for the onset of addictive eating behaviours, yet minimal research has examined this. This study explored the prevalence and correlates of addictive eating behaviours in a large early...
Background:
Lifestyle risk behaviours are prevalent among adolescents and commonly co-occur, but current intervention approaches tend to focus on single risk behaviours. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the eHealth intervention Health4Life in modifying six key lifestyle risk behaviours (ie, alcohol use, tobacco smoking, recreational sc...
Background:
Moderate alcohol consumption appears to be associated with reduced inflammation. Determining whether this association is robust to common variations in research parameters has wide-reaching implications for our understanding of disease aetiology and public health policy. We aimed to conduct comprehensive multiverse and vibration of eff...
Introduction
Systemic chronic inflammation (SCI) is implicated in the aetiology of life-limiting diseases in later life, such as cancer, T2 diabetes and mental health disorders. However, global estimates of adolescent inflammation, indexed by biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), are unknown. We conducted the first study to establish the ove...
Adolescence is considered an important period of neurodevelopment. It is a time for the emergence of psychosocial vulnerabilities, including symptoms of depression, eating disorders, and increased engagement in unhealthy eating behaviours. Food addiction (FA) in adolescents is an area of study where there has been substantial growth. However, to da...
Background
: Digital approaches are frequently described as an ideal way to engage young people with health interventions. However, uptake and adherence to these interventions is often poor. Identifying factors associated with engagement, and the best methods to encourage engagement, is a critical issue for the digital health field. This presentati...
Background: Moderate alcohol consumption appears to be associated with reduced inflammation compared to abstinence. However, there are concerns about the impact of common variations in researcher-defined data processing and analysis parameters on this relationship. In light of this, we performed comprehensive multiverse and vibration of effects ana...
Objective
To examine changes in the prevalence of six key chronic disease risk factors (the “Big 6”), from before (2019) to during (2021) the COVID-19 pandemic, among a large and geographically diverse sample of adolescents, and whether differences over time are associated with lockdown status and gender.
Design
Prospective cohort study.
Setting...
BACKGROUND
Physical inactivity is a preventable risk factor for several chronic diseases and one of the driving forces behind the growing global burden of disease. Recent evidence has shown that interventions using mobile smartphone applications (apps) can promote a significant increase in physical activity (PA) levels. However, the accuracy and re...

Background:
Poor diet, alcohol use, and tobacco smoking have been identified as strong determinants of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Smartphones have the potential to provide a real-time, pervasive, unobtrusive, and cost-effective way to measure these health behaviors and deliver instant feedback to users....
BACKGROUND
The link between chronic diseases and the Big 6 lifestyle risk behaviors (ie, poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking, alcohol use, sedentary recreational screen time and poor sleep) is well established. It is critical to target these lifestyle risk behaviors as they often co-occur and emerge in adolescence. Smartphones have become an in...

Introduction
Lifestyle risk behaviours, including alcohol use, smoking, poor diet, physical inactivity, poor sleep (duration and/or quality) and sedentary recreational screen time (‘the Big 6’), are strong determinants of chronic disease. These behaviours often emerge during adolescence and co-occur. School-based interventions have the potential to...
Background:
Six core behavioural risk factors (poor diet, physical activity, sedentary behaviour, alcohol misuse, smoking and unhealthy sleep patterns) have been identified as strong determinants of chronic disease, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancers. Smartphones have the potential to provide a real-time, pervasive, unobtrusive a...
