The Effectiveness of Sequentially Delivered Web-Based Interventions on Promoting Physical Activity and Fruit-Vegetable Consumption Among Chinese College Students: Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Web-based interventions for multiple health behavior change (MHBC) appear to be a promising approach to change unhealthy habits.
