(author), Janssen, Veronica R. (author), Kraaijenhagen, Roderik A. (author), Kemps, Hareld M.C. (author), Evers, A.W.M. (author)Background: Financial incentives are a promising tool to help people increase their physical activity, but they are expensive to provide. Deposit contracts are a type of financial incentive in which participants pledge their own money. However, low uptake is a crucial obstacle to the large-scale implementation of deposit contracts. Therefore,...journal article 2024

Beckmann, Julia (author), Coenen, Pieter (author), Speklé, Erwin (author), Kraal, J.J. (author)People with a physically demanding job have an unhealthy disbalance in occupational and leisure-time physical activity (PA). We aimed to understand which contextual factors influence this disbalance, and explore opportunities for lifestyle interventions that could restore this disbalance. We applied a contextmapping study with six production...book chapter 2024

Dierikx, M. (author), Albers, N. (author), Scheltinga, Bouke (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)Goal-setting is commonly used in behavior change applications for physical activity. However, for goals to be effective, they need to be tailored to a user’s situation (e.g., motivation, progress). One way to obtain such goals is a collaborative process in which a healthcare professional and client set a goal together, thus making use of the...conference paper 2024

Figueroa, C.A. (author), Aguilera, Adrian (author), Hoffmann, Thomas J. (author), Fukuoka, Yoshimi (author)Background: Women are less physically active, report greater perceived barriers for exercise, and show higher levels of depressive symptoms. This contributes to high global disability. The relationship between perceived barriers for physical activity and depressive symptoms in women remains largely unexplored. The aims of this cross-sectional...journal article 2024

Albers, N. (author), Hizli, B. (author), Scheltinga, Bouke (author), Meijer, Eline (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)Goal-setting is often used in eHealth applications for behavior change as it motivates and helps to stay focused on a desired outcome. However, for goals to be effective, they need to meet criteria such as being specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound (SMART). Moreover, people need to be confident to reach their goal. We thus...journal article 2023

Albers, N. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)Despite their prevalence in eHealth applications for behavior change, persuasive messages tend to have small effects on behavior. Conditions or states (e.g., confidence, knowledge, motivation) and characteristics (e.g., gender, age, personality) of persuadees are two promising components for more effective algorithms for choosing persuasive...conference paper 2023

Adlakha, D. (author), HIggs, Carl (author), Sallis, James F. (author)In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, dubious assertions that population density increased spread of the virus led to premature and dangerous recommendations promoting suburban sprawl. In 2020, we published a commentary in Cities & Health to refute these recommendations. We hypothesized that features of activity-supportive...journal article 2023

Zhang, Yufang (author), van Dijk, Terry (author), Wagenaar, C. (author)Promoting adequate physical activity (PA) such as walking and cycling is essential to cope with the global health challenge of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Much research has been conducted to analyze how the built environment can promote PA, but the results are not consistent. Some scholars found that certain built environments such as...journal article 2022

Albers, N. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author), Penfornis, Kristell M. (author), Brinkman, W.P. (author)Background<br/>Despite their increasing prevalence and potential, eHealth applications for behavior change suffer from a lack of adherence and from dropout. Advances in virtual coach technology provide new opportunities to improve this. However, these applications still do not always offer what people need. We, therefore, need a better...journal article 2022
