Abstract
A computing device may be configured for user interaction with specific timing mechanisms and access rules that may improve a user's preparedness for and ultimate success with a behavior change effort, such as smoking cessation, healthy eating, and/or behaviors to promote a healthy pregnancy. The computing device may include a processor that executes an enforcement module on the condition that both a user attempts to access a first content-interaction module between the first end time on a first scheduled date and a second start time on a second scheduled date and the user did not attempt to access the first content-interaction module between the first start time on the first scheduled date and the first end time on the first scheduled date. The enforcement module may indicate that the first content-interaction module is no longer available and that a second content-interaction module will become available on the second scheduled date.
