adults are overweight or obese†
Prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased across all age groups in recent times†
People in rural and regional areas more likely to be overweight or obese than their urban counterparts

YOUNG ADULT MALES (YAMS)
Young adulthood critical time to prevent or reverse overweight and obesity
Young Adult Males (YAMs) are gaining weight faster than young adult females
BUT …Paucity of research in young adult males,
particularly in rural/regional areas

HOWEVER …YAMs are high users of mobile phones & SMS

STAGE 1
Rate and refine messages using 3 approaches:

2. Place in order of preference 3 versions of the same/similar message
3. “YAMmize” some messages: convert a given message into their preferred format

STAGE 2: RASCH ANALYSIS
Overlap of 10 messages in both groups (messages 33-42)
For Rasch judgement analysis Uses these common messages to
calibrate Allows for predictions about how a
participant would rate a message they didn’t receive

STAGE 1: PREFERENCES OF YAMS
Unanimous in their preference for short, concise messages
Long messages are not engaging
“Really, just keep it short and simple”

STAGE 1: PREFERENCES OF YAMS
Correct spelling and grammar was essential
Use of acronyms and emoticons was not preferred in health messages of this type
![Page 27: Fit4YAMs-1: methodology for developing health-related text ... · Overlap of 10 messages in both groups (messages 33-42) ...

STAGE 1: PREFERENCES OF YAMS
“I just think when people use abbreviated terms it looks a bit stupid and on the subject of health I wouldn’t take it seriously”
“... receive them [emoticons] more off females because they use them like crazy”
“if it said ‘be healthy, be fit’ or whatever and a little smiley face next to it, I’ll probably run straightaway”

STAGE 1: PREFERENCES OF YAMS
Personalisation was deemed very important
Not “fake” personalized but really targeted towards their individual goals
“But not fake personalized, anyone can stick my name in front of a message”“so if your goal is to go to the gym three times a week, have you gone to the gym today?”
![Page 29: Fit4YAMs-1: methodology for developing health-related text ... · Overlap of 10 messages in both groups (messages 33-42) ...

STAGE 1: PREFERENCES OF YAMS
All agreed that 3-4 messages per week would be optimal for engagement
Weekday afternoons and weekend mornings best times to send
Personalization of timetable also critical –some work weekends
Diet and exercise messages: any day Motivational messages: Mondays & Fridays

STAGE 1: FEEDBACK ON MESSAGES
Picture messages were endorsed in theory
Actual picture messages not well received Text content of picture messages was
endorsed No perceived value in having the picture

STAGE 1: FEEDBACK ON MESSAGES
Quotes from athletes well receivede.g. Muhammad Ali
Credible sources were preferred over general messages
e.g. “studies have shown …” rather than “you can cut calories by …”
Cheesy/clichéd messages – no consensusreached

STAGE 2: CONTENT TESTING
According to the Rasch judgement analysis: 50 out of 74 messages more likely to be endorsed
than not

MESSAGES THAT RATED HIGHLY When you skip meals you are more likely to give
in to cravings. It is important to maintain an even blood sugar level to prevent hunger
The first step is always the hardest. Ensure your success by setting small achievable goals to boost your confidence and keep you motivated to carry on
Rethink your drink - water has zero calories and no sugar. Aim for 8 cups a day
Short of time? Try this; 5 rounds of 10 x pushups, 10 x sit ups, 10 x squats. Time how long it takes and challenge yourself to beat it next time

YAMs can be engaged to participate in research
Traditional face to face approaches worked best for recruitment in the absence of advertising
