| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| active transport lesson | Experimental | Participants receive a 2-hour lesson (at school) promoting active transport for short distance travel to various destinations. Receives: Other: Active transport lesson |
| active transport lesson and Facebook group | Experimental | Participants receive a 2-hour lesson (at school) promoting active transport for short distance travel to various destinations. Furthermore, they are asked to join a Facebook group on active transport in which 3 messages per week are posted during an eight-week period. The Facebook posts aim to promote the use of active transport for short distance travel. Receives: Other: Active transport lesson and Facebook group |
| control group | No intervention | Participants in the control group do not receive the active transport lesson or the Facebook group. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in perceived benefits towards active transport
Perceived benefits towards active transport (e.g. health, cost, parking lot, independence,...) will be assessed via seventeen items with a five-point answer format.
Measured: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in perceived barriers towards active transport
Perceived barriers towards active transport (e.g. time, accidents, weather, sweating,...) will be assessed via twenty-one items with a five-point answer format.
Measured: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in subjective norm towards active transport
Subjective norm towards active transport will be assessed via three items (family, friends, partner) with a five-point answer format.
Measured: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in self-efficacy towards active transport
Self-efficacy towards active transport (e.g. bad weather, darkness, when tired,...) will be assessed via eleven items with a five-point answer format.
Measured: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in awareness towards active transport
Awareness towards active transport (e.g. ecology, health benefits, private car ownership,...) will be assessed via eight items with a five-point answer format.
Measured: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in habit towards active transport
Habit towards active transport (e.g. walking or cycling for transport is something I automatically do) will be assessed via four items with a five-point answer format.
Measured: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in intention to use active transport after obtaining a driving license
Intention to use active transport after obtaining a driving license will be assessed via three items with a five-point answer format (e.g. how much do you want to keep using active transport for short distances after obtaining a driving licence).
Measured: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Active transport lesson and Active transport lesson and Facebook group in people with Transport Behaviour Intervention, run by University Ghent.
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 2 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 6 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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.
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?
Change in perceived benefits towards active transport (time frame: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Jul 2016.
