EcoSanté is a mobile lifestyle intervention that encourages individual behavior change while also helping participants understand the deep connections between daily lifestyle choices and our collective impact on the planet. Informed by research on “small” intervention approaches, we sent participants daily behavioral challenges that demonstrated connections between personal health and environmental impact at large. Through a 20-day mobile intervention study, 139 participants uploaded 1,920 submissions documenting their attempts to engage in these challenges. We found that participants’ self-reported healthy eating behavior and general self-efficacy improved significantly immediately after the intervention. Moreover, 30 days after the intervention, participants’ self-reported eating, exercise, and general self-efficacy all significantly improved compared to the beginning of the study. Participants had a more negative reaction when being asked to come up with their own challenges. Based on quantitative and qualitative findings, we provide implications for future researcher on mobile behavior intervention research.

生态健康是一种移动生活方式干预措施，鼓励个人行为改变，同时帮助参与者了解日常生活方式选择与我们对地球的集体影响之间的深层联系。根据对“小”干预方法的研究，我们向参与者发送了日常行为挑战，这些挑战证明了个人健康与整体环境影响之间的联系。通过为期 20 天的移动干预研究，139 名参与者上传了 1,920 份提交材料，记录了他们应对这些挑战的尝试。我们发现，参与者自我报告的健康饮食行为和总体自我效能在干预后立即显着改善。此外，干预后 30 天，参与者自我报告的饮食、运动、与研究开始时相比，总体自我效能感均显着提高。当参与者被要求提出自己的挑战时，他们的反应更为消极。基于定量和定性的研究结果，我们为未来的移动行为干预研究人员提供了启示。
