TL;DR: Proactive, home-based, and stage-matched expert systems can produce relatively high population impacts on multiple behavior risks for cancer and other chronic diseases.

TL;DR: Most older individuals were in precontemplation for losing weight and/ or sunscreen use and exercise, making these behaviors a priority for intervention research.

TL;DR: A longitudinal analysis of the risk of dying, or experiencing increased dependency in activities of daily living (ADLs) or instrumental activities ofdaily living (IADL) for persons with self-rated hearing and/or visual impairment found vision impairments and, to a lesser extent, hearing impairments were found to be significant risk factors for functional decline.

TL;DR: Three stage-based expert system interventions for smoking, high-fat diet, and unsafe sun exposure were evaluated in a sample of 2,460 parents of teenagers, finding the expert system outperformed the comparison condition across all 3 risk behaviors.

TL;DR: There was no clear dose-response relationship for either interactive or noninteractive smoking cessation interventions for a population of smokers who were all members of 1 division of a managed care company.
