Contains specialised analyses and visualisation tools for behavior change science. These facilitate conducting determinant studies (for example, using confidence interval-based estimation of relevance, CIBER, or CIBERlite plots, see Crutzen, Noijen &amp; Peters (2017) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10%2Fghtfz9" target="_top">doi:10/ghtfz9</a>&gt;), systematically developing, reporting, and analysing interventions (for example, using Acyclic Behavior Change Diagrams), and reporting about intervention effectiveness (for example, using the Numbers Needed for Change, see Gruijters &amp; Peters (2017) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10%2Fjzkt" target="_top">doi:10/jzkt</a>&gt;), and computing the required sample size (using the Meaningful Change Definition, see Gruijters &amp; Peters (2020) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10%2Fghpnx8" target="_top">doi:10/ghpnx8</a>&gt;). This package is especially useful for researchers in the field of behavior change or health psychology and to behavior change professionals such as intervention developers and prevention workers.

Police and staff reported 2,545 speeding warnings in an early test window for the new school‑zone camera pilot. The city began issuing fines on Nov. 1 (e.g., $145 for 6–10 mph over the posted school‑zone speed, $250 for 11+ mph), and staff cited a large initial behavior change with high non‑reoffense rates after mailed infractions.

At a Nov. 2 forum, Avio said stop‑sign violations across 11 sites fell nearly 60% (weekly totals from ~16,300 to 7,000) since January; town leaders and residents discussed privacy, notice, fee structure and how revenue will be used for public safety.

This is a new version of the 'userfriendlyscience' package, which has grown a bit unwieldy. Therefore, distinct functionalities are being 'consciously uncoupled' into different packages. This package contains the general-purpose tools and utilities (see the 'behaviorchange' package, the 'rosetta' package, and the soon-to-be-released 'scd' package for other functionality), and is the most direct 'successor' of the original 'userfriendlyscience' package. For example, this package contains a number of basic functions to create higher level plots, such as diamond plots, to easily plot sampling distributions, to generate confidence intervals, to plan study sample sizes for confidence intervals, and to do some basic operations such as (dis)attenuate effect size estimates.

A county presentation on automated speed enforcement said public information and warning phases preceded enforcement and that school‑zone speeding violations and speed‑related crashes dropped sharply in pilot areas; the vendor reported county results that outperformed statewide averages.

Presenters at a city forum described treatment themes for people who perpetrate intimate-partner violence, highlighting adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), substance use correlations, and challenges in achieving lasting accountability and behavior change.

Background: In Japan, employed men younger than 40 years are not eligible for specific health guidance, and evidence regarding obesity interventions targeting this population is limited. Furthermore, due to the shortage of human resources in occupational health settings, a need has arisen for simple and implementable support methods. Support via SMS text message is expected to be a low-cost and scalable method for health guidance; however, its effectiveness in this target population has not been sufficiently evaluated. Objective: This pilot randomized controlled trial aimed to assessed the #feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of an SMS #TextMessaging #mhealth intervention among employed men younger than 40 years with obesity (BMI ≥25 kg/m²). Methods: An unblinded randomized controlled trial was conducted with 35 participants (intervention group, n=17; control group, n=18). The intervention group received one-way SMS #TextMessaging #mhealth based on behavior change techniques targeting diet and physical activity, delivered 3 times per week for 12 weeks (36 messages total). The control group received a pamphlet and a self-monitoring record sheet at baseline. The primary outcome was the proportion achieving ≥3% weight loss. Secondary outcomes included BMI, waist circumference, and psychological and behavioral measures. #feasibility and acceptability were also assessed. Results: The proportion achieving ≥3% weight loss was 23.5% (4/17) in the intervention group and 5.6% (1/18) in the control group (=.18; odds ratio 5.23). Waist circumference significantly decreased in the intervention group compared to baseline (=2.71, 02), whereas no significant between-group differences were observed in weight, BMI, or psychological measures. The SMS delivery rate was 95.5%, with a total cost of JP¥ 15,264 over 12 weeks. The follow-up rate was 100%, and the ratings for satisfaction, utilization, and willingness to recommend were 3.5, 2.8, and 3.0 out of 5, respectively. Conclusions: The findings support the #feasibility and acceptability of an SMS #TextMessaging #mhealth intervention for health guidance among employed men younger than 40 years with obesity, although evidence of its effectiveness remains preliminary. Further research with larger samples is needed to evaluate its effectiveness and optimize the intervention.

Keith Robinson of FDOT District 1 presented a five‑year safety strategic plan focused on safe‑system approaches, behavior change, enforcement pilots and school outreach; he said Lee County shows a downward trend in fatal and serious‑injury crashes and noted about $107 million in safety projects across the district.

⚡️ The Breaking Point: Why Your "Slow Progress" is Actually a Trap Stop waiting for the "right time" to change your life—because that time doesn't exist, and your brain is lying to you about it. Ever feel like you’re running on a treadmill of self-improvement, sweating buckets but staying in the exact same place? We’ve been fed the lie that personal transformation is a grueling, decades-long mountain climb. But what if the secret to a radical life shift isn’t a slow crawl, but a sudden, violent snap? 💥 In this episode, we’re diving deep into the psychology of breakthroughs to reveal why your greatest growth won’t come from a "New Year’s Resolution," but from the moment you finally get sick of your own excuses. 🧠 The Silent Killers of Your Potential Most people don't fail because they lack talent; they fail because they’ve fallen into high-level psychological traps that feel like comfort but act like cages. We’re deconstructing the big three: - The "Fixed Identity" Fallacy: Stop saying "that’s just who I am." It’s not an identity; it’s a defense mechanism. 🛡️ - The Calendar Mirage: If you’re waiting for "next Monday" or "next month" to start, you’ve already decided to fail. We explore why procrastination via scheduling is the most sophisticated form of self-sabotage. - The Excuse Loop: How your brain treats recurring problems like old friends instead of enemies that need to be evicted. 🔥 How to Trigger an Instant Transformation You don’t need more time; you need a cognitive breakthrough. We break down the science of behavioral patterns and how to use your "accumulated discontent" as rocket fuel. Learn how to: - Weaponize Frustration: Stop suppressing your dissatisfaction. Learn to let it boil over until change becomes the only option. 🌊 - Act on Clarity: Why the "Window of Action" only stays open for seconds, and how to jump through it before your brain talks you out of it. - Sustainable Momentum: How to turn a sudden epiphany into a permanent lifestyle design through high-leverage daily habits. 🚀 If you’ve been searching for how to change your life fast, overcoming mental blocks, or the science of habit formation, this is the definitive guide. We aren't just talking about "motivation"—we are hacking the neurobiology of change and identity shifting to ensure your "Aha!" moment actually sticks. Stop resisting your inner friction. That tension you feel? It’s not a signal to stop; it’s the sound of your old self cracking open to let the new one out. 🔓 ✨ READY TO STOP STALLING?

Share this episode with that one friend who is always "starting next week"—it’s time for a collective wake-up call. 📣 Listen now and turn your frustration into your greatest competitive advantage. 🎧👇 #PersonalGrowth #MindsetShift #PsychologyOfSuccess #Breakthrough #HabitStacking #SelfImprovement #OvercomingProcrastination #MentalToughness #LifeHacks #IdentityShift
