Outline of Final Research Achievements	This study aimed to develop and evaluate ICT-based self-management enhancement programs for individuals at risk of lifestyle-related diseases. Two types of ICT-based health guidance programs were developed: (1) a program emphasizing self-monitoring with low-frequency interventions, and (2) a program reinforcing continuous support for self-management behaviors with high-frequency interventions. It was clear that ICT-based health guidance programs increased the interest of participants. The results suggest that, In ICT-based health guidance programs, what is more important than the frequency of intervention is determining who is suitable for such programs, and it will be necessary to clarify who is suitable in the future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	本研究では、ICTツールを活用したプログラムをアウトカム評価だけでなくプロセス評価を含めて明らかにした点が学術的意義である。また、社会的意義として、開発した2つのICTを活用した保健指導プログラムによって、対象者が生活習慣病予防のための自己管理行動を継続するための選択肢を提示することができた。さらに、必ずしも保険者側の介入頻度が求められるわけではないことが示唆されており、保険者にとってもICTを活用した保健指導を効果・効率的に導入・実施しやすくなると考える。
