Health@NUS - Studying Health Behaviours and Well-being During the Student-to-Work Life Transition Using mHealth
The study aims to investigate body-weight and behavioural trajectories, as well as their underlying individual, social, and environmental determinants from University to early working life. The study employs mHealth approaches in the form of a smartphone app and smart wearables to collect health behaviour and related information to answer the following research questions:
- To what extend do health behaviours (activity, diet, and sleep), body weight, and mental well-being change during the transition from university to early working life?
- What is the relationship between health behaviours and mental well-being, and how does it differ at different stages of the transition from University to early working life?
- What are the determinants of physical activity, healthy eating and sleep in university students and young working adults?
- Do these determinants differ at different stages of the student to work life transition?
- If so, how do these differences in these determinants relate to changes in health behaviours, weight status, and mental well-being?
