- Electrodermal activity wrist-based systems: A review of validity, reliability, and responsive measuresPublication . Félix, José; Moreira, Juliana; Santos, Rubim; Sousa, AndreiaElectrodermal activity (EDA) can be defined as an electrical property of the skin, measured in the palm and sole, related to the level of conductivity, influenced by the sweat level that may depend on various stimuli. Different equipments have been used to capture EDA with high levels of reliability, validity, and responsiveness, however these values vary according to the site of measurement. The increased use of EDA wrist-based systems highlights the need of characterizing the psychometric properties of these kind of systems. The aim of this chapter is to review the validity, reliability, and responsiveness of EDA measurement in the wrist. Previous studies have demonstrated that wrist measurement present low to moderate correlations, against the gold standard systems, with moderate levels of responsiveness, while no study addressed reliability. Wrist EDA measurement could be therefore an acceptable option, however, more studies are demanded not only to assess related values of reliability, as well to best characterize validity and responsiveness measures.
- Health promotion conceptual evolution and program development: a literature ReviewPublication . Félix, José; Santos, Paula Clara; Baylina, PilarThe World Health Organization defends prevention and health promotion among communities as a driver of economic and social development, where the individual level of health literacy determines health choices such as adopting healthy lifestyles, managing individual healthcare and preventing chronic diseases. Currently, health promotion is guided by a set of values, being these principles essential for identifying needs and priorities, planning, implementing, evaluating and determining the health promotion programs, that can be defined as a set of programmed, integrated and interrelated strategies and actions that aim to promote health, prevent risks, reduce years of life lost due to disability and increase quality of life. There are several models for planning health promotion programs, such as the Precede-Proceed Model, the Multivariate Approach to community Health (MATCH) Model, the Mapped Intervention Model and the Social Marketing Model. A good planning of a health promotion program can effectively reduce the health costs.
