About this study
Official title: Enhancing Knowledge Translation in Nutrition Through a Healthy Eating Blog: A Mixed Methods Feasibility Study
The purpose of this study is to determine if a nutrition intervention provided through a healthy eating blog is feasible and acceptable.
Read the detailed description
Participants randomised to the experimental group are exposed to one blog post each week for a period of 6 months. Blog posts focus on the improvement of fruits and vegetables consumption targeting four main determinants of the behavior: (1) knowledge; (2) attitude; (3) self-efficacy; and (4) motivation/goals. Each post included a step-by-step recipe developed by the research team and featuring fruits and vegetables. Recipes were described textually and also using pictures and/or video. Twenty-six posts were created over the six-month intervention. Participants randomised to the control group are not exposed to the healthy eating blog. Feasibility (compliance, dropout and participation rates) and acceptability (satisfaction) of the study were assessed.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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