INTRODUCCIÓN: A nivel mundial, se estima que más del 20% de las mujeres embarazadas consumen alcohol. La investigación actual sugiere que la ingesta de alcohol durante el embarazo pone en riesgo al recién nacido de sufrir discapacidades cognitivas y del desarrollo graves de por vida. Las intervenciones de cambio de comportamiento pueden ayudar a las mujeres a reducir su consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo. OBJETIVO: El objetivo de este análisis crítico es comprobar la validez y aplicabilidad de los resultados con respecto a la efectividad de intervenciones de cambio de comportamiento para reducir el consumo de alcohol en mujeres embarazadas, y responder a la interrogante: ¿Son efectivas las intervenciones de cambio de comportamiento en la reducción del consumo de alcohol en mujeres embarazadas?. MÉTODOS: Se realizó una búsqueda de evidencia proveniente de revisiones sistemáticas, sobre Intervenciones de cambio de comportamiento para la reducción del consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo. Se especificó para cada revisión los componentes PICO de la pregunta y, del listado de revisiones relevantes, se seleccionó la que pudiese responder mejor a la pregunta. RESULTADOS: Identificamos seis revisiones sistemáticas y dos revisiones panorámicas. Se analizó críticamente el artículo “Identifying effective behavior change techniques for alcohol and illicit substance use during pregnancy: a systematic review.” CONCLUSIÓN: Existe evidencia para decir que algunas técnicas de cambio de comportamiento podrían ser útiles para lograr la reducción del consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo. Sin embargo, estos resultados se deben tomar con precaución dado algunas limitaciones metodológicas en la evidencia disponible.

BACKGROUND Poor oral hygiene is a great public health problem worldwide. Oral health care education is a public health priority as the maintenance of oral hygiene is integral to overall health. Maintaining optimal oral hygiene among children is challenging and can be supported by using relevant motivational approaches. OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study was to identify mobile smartphone apps that include gamification features focused on motivating children to learn, perform, and maintain optimal oral hygiene. METHODS We searched six online app stores using four search terms (“oral hygiene game,” “oral hygiene gamification,” “oral hygiene brush game,” and “oral hygiene brush gamification”). We identified gamification features, identified whether apps were consistent with evidence-based dentistry, performed a quality appraisal with the Mobile App Rating Scale user version (uMARS), and quantified behavior scores (Behavior Change score, uMARS score, and Coventry, Aberdeen, and London-Refined [CALO-RE] score) using three different instruments that measure behavior change. RESULTS Of 612 potentially relevant apps included in the analysis, 17 met the inclusion criteria. On average, apps included 6.87 (SD 4.18) out of 31 possible gamification features. The most frequently used gamification features were time pressure (16/17, 94%), virtual characters (14/17, 82%), and fantasy (13/17, 76%). The most common oral hygiene evidence-based recommendation was brushing time (2-3 minutes), which was identified in 94% (16/17) of apps. The overall mean uMARS score for app quality was high (4.30, SD 0.36), with good mean subjective quality (3.79, SD 0.71) and perceived impact (3.58, SD 0.44). Sufficient behavior change techniques based on three taxonomies were detected in each app. CONCLUSIONS The majority of the analyzed oral hygiene apps included gamification features and behavior change techniques to perform and maintain oral hygiene in children. Overall, the apps contained some educational content consistent with evidence-based dentistry and high-quality background for oral self-care in children; however, there is scope for improvement.

Introduction: The importance of self-care behaviors in successful heart failure (HF) management is widely recognized. And yet, patient perspectives on strategies to effective carry out the work of behavior change remain relatively unexplored. Methods: From March 2017 to May 2017, we conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 8 HF patients involved in the CONNECT-HF clinical trial and 7 of their respective caregivers. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcriptions were imported to NVivo 11 (Version 11.4.0) for coding and analysis. We used content analysis and a mixed inductive and deductive approach for interpretation of coded text. Results: Patients (n=8) and caregivers (n=7) reported numerous strategies (n=28) for each guideline-based self-care behavior. The over-arching theme contributing to successful, effective behavior change was the value of social support and social interactions in the work of “sticking with it.” Predominant sub-themes included the idea that “knowledge is necessary but not sufficient” for behavior change, and “ building a routine” was critical for life-long self-care to be effective (Table 1). Conclusions: Many of the behavior change barriers and strategies proposed by patients are concepts that are consistent with findings in the field of behavioral economics and have the potential to inform development of effective behavior change tools.

Physical activity interventions among older adults vary widely in the techniques used to elicit behavior change. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine what behavior change techniques (BCTs) are used in interventions to increase physical activity among older adults using the theory of planned behavior and to make suggestions for BCTs that appear to be more effective. A database search identified peer-reviewed articles documenting interventions based on the theory of planned behavior. Seven articles (three randomized controlled trial, three quasi-experimental, and onen-of-1) from four countries (the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Netherlands) were included for review. Researchers independently coded BCTs using a hierarchical taxonomy of 93 BCTs. The most frequently coded BCTs includedGoal Setting(n = 5 studies),Action Planning(n = 5 studies), andCredible Source(n = 5 studies). Of the 93 BCTs in the taxonomy, only 26 were used, indicating potential opportunities to implement and evaluate less commonly used techniques in future studies.
