About this study

The study aims to determine the impact of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown on cardiovascular prevention behaviour.

Read the detailed description

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a lockdown and social distancing in most countries all over the world. The impact of this national intervention on cardiovascular prevention behaviour (physical exercise, nutrition, smoking) is unknown. The COLA Trial aims to help clarifying these questions.

An online survey was distributed among bavarian students with standardized questions about physical activity, nutritional behavior, smoking and alcohol intake before and during lockdown.

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?

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04361877, which also lists 2 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.
