About this study

The objective of this project was to evaluate a population-based, computerized tailored intervention that addresses recommended guidelines for three target behaviors related to obesity risk: physical activity (at least 60 minutes on at least 5 days per week), fruit and vegetable consumption (at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day), and limited TV viewing (2 hours or less of TV each day).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Health in MotionBehavioural

    Students interacted with the 30-minute program through a series of Transtheoretical Model (TTM) based assessments and tailored feedback messages. A full TTM intervention was delivered for physical activity, in which each of the appropriate constructs of the TTM based on stage of change was addressed. Optimally tailored interventions were delivered for fruit and vegetable consumption and limited TV viewing. These interventions offered feedback on the most important TTM constructs based on stage of change for each behavior. Multimedia components, including audio, video, and animations helped to capture students' interest.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The number of days per week for which students got at least 60 minutes of physical activity

    Measured: 2, 6, and 12 months

  2. The number of servings of fruits and vegetables consumed each day

    Measured: 2, 6, and 12 months

  3. The number of hours of TV watch each day, including time spent watching TV, videotapes, and DVD's

    Measured: 2, 6, and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Stage of change for readiness to do at least 60 minutes of physical activity on at least 5 days of the week

    Measured: 2, 6, and 12 months

  2. Stage of change for readiness to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day.

    Measured: 2, 6, and 12 months

  3. Stage of change for readiness to watch two hours or less of TV each day.

    Measured: 2, 6, and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Health in Motion in people with Physical Activity and Nutrition, run by Pro-Change Behavior Systems at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The number of days per week for which students got at least 60 minutes of physical activity (time frame: 2, 6, and 12 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01033253, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Dec 2009.
