User Satisfaction With a Daily Supportive Text Message Program (Text4PTSI) for Public Safety Personnel: Longitudinal Cross-Sectional Study

User Satisfaction With a Daily Supportive Text Message Program (Text4PTSI) for Public Safety Personnel: Longitudinal Cross-Sectional Study

Additionally, PSP often work long and irregular hours, making it challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle and work-life balance. Another source of stress for PSP may include the culture of their organizations [6]. Many public safety agencies have a culture of stoicism and toughness, which can discourage employees from seeking help for mental health problems.

An E–Mental Health Solution to Prevent and Manage Posttraumatic Stress Injuries Among First Responders in Alberta: Protocol for the Implementation and Evaluation of Text Messaging Services (Text4PTSI and Text4Wellbeing)

An E–Mental Health Solution to Prevent and Manage Posttraumatic Stress Injuries Among First Responders in Alberta: Protocol for the Implementation and Evaluation of Text Messaging Services (Text4PTSI and Text4Wellbeing)

A study conducted among first responders showed an increased risk of PTSI of 25.6% and 16.7% at 7 and 13 months, respectively, with a depression rate of 16%, after exposure to a traumatic event [18]. A proportion of first responders who are exposed to traumatic events seek psychological support or treatment [6,19]. There is no doubt that PTSI is a substantial mental health concern, especially among first responders, and contributes to a substantial overall cost for mental health.

Evaluation of a Pilot Program to Prevent the Misuse of Prescribed Opioids Among Health Care Workers: Repeated Measures Survey Study

Evaluation of a Pilot Program to Prevent the Misuse of Prescribed Opioids Among Health Care Workers: Repeated Measures Survey Study

For example, in a randomized pilot study, greater knowledge gains were found for those who received a 6-minute video on proper usage of opioids compared to those who received standard-care instructions [21]. An educational campaign using an advertising format focused on changing attitudes and beliefs of a young adult target population showed increases in empathy and perceived risk of problems associated with opioid use [22].

Mobile Phone–Based Intervention Among Adolescents Living With Perinatally Acquired HIV Transitioning from Pediatric to Adult Care: Protocol for the Interactive Transition Support for Adolescents Living With HIV using Social Media (InTSHA) Study

Mobile Phone–Based Intervention Among Adolescents Living With Perinatally Acquired HIV Transitioning from Pediatric to Adult Care: Protocol for the Interactive Transition Support for Adolescents Living With HIV using Social Media (InTSHA) Study

It further lays out the roles of 3 key stakeholders (adolescents, caregivers, and health care providers) and their interconnected relationship in influencing a successful transition to adult care. This model thus offers a potential structure with which to design a social support intervention [15-17]. The use of social media and access to mobile phones among adolescents in South Africa is growing rapidly and offers an excellent opportunity to deliver a social support intervention [18].

Text Messaging to Enhance Mindfulness-Based Smoking Cessation Treatment: Program Development Through Qualitative Research

We developed a brief, 1-week version of the program to be pretested with a separate group of participants (Study 2) and then used participant feedback to further improve the program. A longer version of the program will then be evaluated in a randomized controlled trial, with continued revisions as needed.

Incidence and Characterization of Post-COVID-19 Symptoms in Hospitalized COVID-19 Survivors to Recognize Syndemic Connotations in India: Single-Center Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Incidence and Characterization of Post-COVID-19 Symptoms in Hospitalized COVID-19 Survivors to Recognize Syndemic Connotations in India: Single-Center Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Presentations of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children and adults show that COVID-19 negativity is not a hardtop, as there could be postinfectious complications constituting a post-COVID-19 state and its associated health issues [2]. A clear definition of what these health problems are and their magnitude is crucial to prepare an efficient, multidisciplinary service [3].

Online Recruitment Methods for Web-Based and Mobile Health Studies: A Review of the Literature

According to a recent survey, approximately 284.5 million people in the United States (90% of the population) have at least one mobile phone [5]. An estimated 58% of mobile phone users have a smartphone, about 31% of mobile phone owners use their phones to look for health or medical information, and approximately 35% of mobile phone users download apps to track or manage their health [6,7]. A similar report found that 72% of adults look on the Internet for health information [8].

Mask Use to Curtail Influenza in a Post–COVID-19 World: Modeling Study

Mask Use to Curtail Influenza in a Post–COVID-19 World: Modeling Study

For example, there are cases where people with the flu may not report to the CDC or go see a health care provider. Therefore, to correct for this underreporting, the CDC uses a multiplier method with a routine population-based surveillance program to extrapolate a data set more representative of actual case rates [8]. We estimated β(t) by fitting the model to the scaled past infection data.
