Telephone-Delivered Interventions for Physical Activity and Dietary Behavior Change
Abstract
Context Telephone-delivered interventions targeting physical activity and dietary change have potential for broad population reach and thus have a role to play in addressing increasing rates of lifestyle-related chronic diseases. The purpose of this systematic review is to update the evidence for their potential to inform translation, including effectiveness in promoting maintenance, reporting on implementation, and costs. Evidence acquisition A structured search of PubMed, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO (January 2006 to April 2010) was conducted. Included studies reported on physical activity and/or dietary change in adults, delivered at least 50% of intervention contacts by telephone, and included a control group (except in dissemination studies). Detailed information on study design, intervention features, and behavioral outcomes was extracted, tabulated, and summarized. Evidence synthesis Twenty-five studies (27 comparisons) were included: 16 for physical activity, two for diet, and seven for combined interventions. Twenty of 27 comparisons found evidence for initiation of behavior change (14 of 17 comparisons for physical activity; two of two for diet; four of eight for combined interventions). Ten of 25 studies evaluated post-intervention maintenance of change, with three reporting that maintenance was achieved for at least 50% of outcomes. Dissemination studies were rare (n=3), as were dose-response (n=2) and cost-effectiveness analyses (n=2). Conclusions Given the strength of evidence for telephone-delivered physical activity and dietary change interventions, greater emphasis on dissemination studies is warranted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
