Health-promotion behaviors
The first hypothesis that there would be a significant increase in health-promoting behaviors among those who received the mHealth intervention with LHW (mH-L group) compared to those who did not (control group) was supported by the data. The mH-L group demonstrated a steady increase in health-promoting behaviors at three points (M = 3.37, 3.55, and 3.69) with significantly higher levels at T2 compared to the control group (M = 3.51). Data also show that, while mH group had some increase in health-promoting behavior at T1 (M = 3.60), the increase was not sustained at T2 (M = 3.57). The interactions between the three groups and over time indicated statistically significant differences in health-promoting behaviors (χThe examination of group distinctions at the T1 time point revealed no statistically significant differences among the three groups (H = 1.375,
