Key result
A 4-week mHealth healthy eating program was acceptable to 95% of pilot participants and significantly increased heart healthy eating environmental self-efficacy (p=0.001).

Does a 4-week mHealth healthy eating program improve self-efficacy and prove acceptable in adults with CVD?
p-value: p=0.001
A text message-based mHealth healthy eating program is acceptable to cardiac rehabilitation patients and may improve dietary self-efficacy.
Dale et al. (2014) studied Cardiovascular disease (CVD) (n=74). mHealth healthy eating program (text messaging and website) was evaluated on Pre-post changes in heart healthy eating self-efficacy (environmental self-efficacy subset) (p=0.001). A 4-week mHealth healthy eating program was acceptable to 95% of pilot participants and significantly increased heart healthy eating environmental self-efficacy (p=0.001).
