. This study investigated views of mothers from disadvantaged urban and regional areas (i.e., beyond major capital cities) as potential end users of child active play and screen time behaviour change interventions, with a focus on text messaging and web-based delivery platforms. . Thirty-two mothers (22 urban; 10 regional) were interviewed. Purpose-designed questions covered topics regarding mothers' preferences for accessing and receiving information related to parenting and child active play and screen time. Data from transcribed interviews were analysed to identify responses and key themes. . Mothers reported frequently accessing parenting- and child-related information online. Regional mothers reported seeking information by talking with other people less frequently than urban mothers and seemed to have a stronger preference for receiving information online. There were few differences between responses from low and high educated mothers. The majority of mothers reported that they would be happy to receive text messages containing information about active play and screen time and that they would find a dedicated website with this information useful. . Mothers in this study held favourable views on the potential of receiving information via new communication technologies. Future interventions targeting socioeconomically disadvantaged mothers may benefit from delivering intervention messages via these technologies.
本研究调查了来自城市和地区弱势地区（即主要首府城市以外）的母亲作为儿童积极玩耍和屏幕时间行为改变干预措施潜在最终用户的观点，重点关注短信和基于网络的交付平台。对32位母亲（22位城市母亲；10位地区母亲）进行了访谈。专门设计的问题涵盖了母亲在获取和接收与育儿以及儿童积极玩耍和屏幕时间相关信息方面的偏好。对访谈转录的数据进行分析，以确定回答和关键主题。母亲们报告说经常在网上获取与育儿和儿童相关的信息。与城市母亲相比，地区母亲通过与他人交谈来寻求信息的频率较低，并且似乎对在线接收信息有更强的偏好。低学历和高学历母亲的回答几乎没有差异。大多数母亲报告说，她们很乐意接收包含有关积极玩耍和屏幕时间信息的短信，并且她们会觉得有一个提供此类信息的专用网站很有用。本研究中的母亲对通过新通信技术接收信息的潜力持赞成态度。未来针对社会经济弱势母亲的干预措施可能会受益于通过这些技术传递干预信息。
