About this study

Official title: Ready to Act. A Health Education Programme for People With Screen-detected Hyperglycaemia

A pre-randomized study in primary health care was designed to investigate health education in a subpopulation extracted from general practitioners (GPs) in one Danish county in the treatment arm of the ADDITION (Anglo-Danish-Dutch Study of Intensive Treatment in People with Screen-Detected Diabetes in Primary Care) study, DK. The overall objective of the 'Ready to Act' health education programme was to support the participants' competences in daily life and act appropriately with respect to their dysglycaemic condition. The achievement of action competence involved four learning objectives: intrinsic motivation, informed decision-making, action experience and social involvement. The programme was delivered in primary care settings (health centre or GP surgeries) by nurses, dieticians, physiotherapists and GPs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Modelled cardiovascular disease risk

    The risk is measured by a SCORE model uses information on age, sex, smoking status, total cholesterol and systolic blood pressure. It provides an estimate of ten-year fatal cardiovascular disease risk

    Measured: 3 years after intervention, dec 2010

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Glycated hemoglobin

    Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)is a form of hemoglobin that is measured primarily to identify the average plasma glucose concentration over prolonged periods of time

    Measured: 3 years after intervention, dec 2010

  2. se-cholesterol

    Serum cholesterol is the total amount of cholesterol found in the blood.

    Measured: 3 years after intervention, dec 2010

  3. Patient Activation

    The Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13) is a composite measure of perceived skills, self-efficacy and knowledge.

    Measured: One year and three year (2006, 2007, 2010)

  4. Blood pressure

    Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured

    Measured: 3 years after intervention, dec 2010

  5. Physical activity

    Physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity questionnaire (IPAQ-short form)

    Measured: 3 years after intervention, dec 2010

  6. Smoking

    Smoking status was assessed by standard questions.

    Measured: 3 years after intervention, 2010
