About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial to Identify the Effect and the Working Mechanisms of MyPlan 2.0, a Self-regulation-based e- and mHealth Intervention Targeting Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour, in Older Adults

The aim of this study is to investigate whether and how 'MyPlan 2.0' helps older adults to be more physically active or less sedentary. Two groups will be created, an intervention group and a waiting-list control group.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to investigate whether and how 'MyPlan 2.0' helps older adults to be more physically active or less sedentary. Two groups will be created, an intervention group and a waiting-list control group. Both groups will be tested during three testing waves: pretest, posttest and follow-up test. Only the intervention group will be given acces to 'MyPlan 2.0'.

'MyPlan 2.0' consists of a website and mobile application targeting physical activity and sedentary behaviour. The intervention has a duration of five weeks.

What participants receive

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

  • MyPlan 2.0Behavioural

    MyPlan 2.0 consists of five sessions. During these five sessions the following behaviour change techniques are used to motivate users to be more physically active or to sit less: exploring risk perceptions and perceived benefits, exploring social support, providing feedback, action planning, coping planning and monitoring.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in objective total, light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA)

    Change in amount of total, light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, measured via accelerometers

    Measured: Pretest, posttest (6 weeks) and follow-up (6 months)

  2. Change in objective sedentary behaviour

    Change in amount of total sitting time, measured via accelerometers

    Measured: Pretest, posttest (6 weeks) and follow-up (6 months)

  3. Change in self-reported total, moderate and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA) as well as total work-related, transport-related, household-related and leisure time PA.

    Change in amount of total, light and moderate-to-vigorous PA well as total work-related, transport-related, household-related and leisure time PA will be measured via the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The IPAQ measures physical activity in four domains: work, transport, household and leisure time. Higher scores indicate higher levels of physical activity. For each scale the minimum value is 0. We will use the method described by Dubuy et al. (2013) to truncate the data.

    Measured: Pretest, posttest (6 weeks) and follow-up (6 months)

  4. Change in self-reported sedentary behaviour

    Change in amount of total sitting time, measured via the LASA sedentary behaviour self-report questionnaire. The total score is calculated by summing all 10 items.The minimum value is 0 and the maximum value is 24 hours. However, data will be truncated at 16 hours.

    Measured: Pretest, posttest (6 weeks) and follow-up (6 months)

Secondary outcomes (6)

  1. Change in self-efficacy

    Change in amount of self-efficacy to change behaviour, measured via 5 validated items (questionnaire). These items were created by the involved research groups. For each item, the scale ranges from 1 to 10. The average score on the five items will be considered the final score.

    Measured: Pretest, after week 1, after week 2, after week 3, after week 4, posttest (6 weeks), and follow-up (6 months)

  2. Change in outcome expectancies

    Outcome expectancies regarding the behaviour change, measured via 5 validated items (questionnaire). These items were created by the involved research groups. For each item, the scale ranges from 1 to 10. The average score on the five items will be considered the final score.

    Measured: Pretest, after week 1, after week 2, after week 3, after week 4, posttest (6 weeks), and follow-up (6 months

  3. Change in risk perception

    Risk perception about the behaviour, measured via 4 validated items (questionnaire). These items were created by the involved research groups. For each item, the scale ranges from 1 to 10. The average score on the four items will be considered the final score

    Measured: Pretest, after week 1, after week 2, after week 3, after week 4, posttest (6 weeks), and follow-up (6 months

  4. Change in intention

    Amount of intention to change the behaviour, measured via 3 validated items (questionnaire). These items were created by the involved research groups. For each item, the scale ranges from 1 to 10. The average score on the three items will be considered the final score.

    Measured: Pretest, after week 1, after week 2, after week 3, after week 4, posttest (6 weeks), and follow-up (6 months

  5. Change in action planning

    Amount of action planning for behaviour change, measured via 3 validated items (questionnaire). These items were created by the involved research groups. For each item, the scale ranges from 1 to 10. The average score on the three items will be considered the final score.

    Measured: Pretest, after week 1, after week 2, after week 3, after week 4, posttest (6 weeks), and follow-up (6 months

  6. Change in coping planning

    Amount of coping planning for behaviour change, measured via 3 validated items (questionnaire). These items were created by the involved research groups. For each item, the scale ranges from 1 to 10. The average score on the three items will be considered the final score.

    Measured: Pretest, after week 1, after week 2, after week 3, after week 4, posttest (6 weeks), and follow-up (6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MyPlan 2.0 and Waiting List in people with Overweight, run by University Ghent at 1 site in Belgium.

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 6 Dec 2021. 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 Belgium. 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.

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 objective total, light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA) (time frame: Pretest, posttest (6 weeks) and follow-up (6 months)). The study lists 4 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 NCT03799146, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2021.
