A Boost of Health: Effectiveness of a Personalized Communication Intervention to Increase Daily Fruit and Vegetable Intake
A Boost of Health: Effectiveness of a Personalized Communication Intervention Aimed at Increasing Daily Fruit and Vegetable Portions - A Study Within the PNRR 10 ON Foods Partnership

詳細な説明
The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a protocol designed to increase fruit and vegetable consumption, grounded in the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA).
The protocol was delivered via the MyPocketHealth app, developed by the research team, and incorporated different communication strategies. Participants were involved in setting a goal and choosing between a personalized or a standardized goal (5 daily portions), which could be reviewed at any time. Moreover, they received either interactive (HAPA-I: group 1) or non-interactive (HAPA-NI: group 2) daily notifications promoting the target behavior through HAPA constructs for 15 days, while also monitoring their daily fruit and vegetable consumption (self-monitoring). A third group engaged solely in self-monitoring without receiving any communication (no-communication group; No comm). Goal attainment was reinforced through badge awards (rewards).

実験的：Interactive condition (HAPA-I: group 1)
Participants received two daily notifications. Each notification included a question about a variable from the HAPA model, and participants responded on a 5-point Likert scale. Those who scored low (1-3) received a motivational message tailored to their response. In contrast, participants who scored high (4-5) received rewarding messages. These notifications gave participants feedback on their standings within the HAPA. Moreover, participants received a daily reminder to log the portions of fruit and vegetables in a dedicated self-monitoring section of the app. |

実験的：Non-interactive condition (HAPA-NI: group 2)
Participants received two daily educational notifications about HAPA variables, but they did not interact with the app. The notifications for both the HAPA-I and HAPA-NI groups were identical in structure, word count, and graphic format. The only difference was the level of content customization: it was generic for the HAPA-NI group and tailored to participants' responses for the HAPA-I group. Moreover, participants received a daily reminder to log the portions of fruit and vegetables in a dedicated self-monitoring section of the app. |

Change in Daily Fruit and Vegetable Intake from Baseline
時間枠：From Day 1 to Day 15 (end of intervention)
|
Participants self-monitored daily fruit and vegetable intake throughout the study period.
Each evening, participants received a reminder and recorded the number of fruit and vegetable portions consumed that day via a dedicated app interface.
At the end of the 15-day intervention, the mean daily intake was calculated for each participant.
This value was then compared with baseline intake (assessed prior to the start of the intervention) to evaluate whether a statistically significant increase in daily fruit and vegetable consumption was observed.

Change in Perceived Well-Being (WHO-5 Index)
時間枠：Baseline and Day 15 (end of intervention)
|
Perceived well-being is assessed using the WHO-5 Well-Being Index, a validated self-report questionnaire that measures subjective psychological well-being.
The WHO-5 consists of five items rated on a 6-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating greater well-being.
Scores are collected at baseline and at the end of the 15-day intervention.
The outcome is defined as the change in WHO-5 score from baseline to post-intervention.
