Filter by:180 qualified subjects aged from 7 days to 90 days will be enrolled with the 144 completed in study (allowing for a 20% drop-out rate). Subjects will be randomly assigned into 3 groups, including breast feeding, commercial and new formula group. Study intervention is 12 weeks.
This is a clinical trial to evaluate the impact of presenting medicare fee data for inpatient laboratory tests in the electronic health record on provider ordering behavior at a tertiary care hospital.
The aim of this study is to assess the effects of giving a schoolmeal with fatty fish, a schoolmeal without fish or omega-3 capsules on Noregian adolescents cognitive performance (concentration and learning abilities), mental health statua and markers of nutritional status. In addition, to disentangle the effect of fatty fish eaten as food and the effects of omega-3 fatty acids taken as a supplement.
This approach will train peer mentors to deliver a culturally appropriate intervention and provide social support that is critical for facilitating and sustaining health behavior change. The objective is to compare the efficacy of an innovative healthy lifestyle skills mentoring program (Mentored Planning to be Active [MBA]) to a teacher led program (PBA) for increasing physical activity in Appalachian high school teens. MBA emphasizes the social determinants of health by using a social networking approach that trains peer mentors to support targeted teens
This project proposes two aims. The first aim is to evaluate the efficacy of a family-focused intervention in promoting smoking cessation in Chinese and Vietnamese male smokers using a 2-arm cluster randomized controlled trial with assessments at baseline, 6, and 12 months targeting 360 smoker-family dyads. Half of the participants will be assigned to the proposed intervention, and the remaining half will be assigned to an attention-control condition where they will receive education on healthy eating and physical activity. The second aim is to explore mediators to identify key psychosocial and behavioral processes that underlie how the intervention affects the processes of quitting and maintaining abstinence in Chinese and Vietnamese smokers.
The overall aim is to evaluate if a familybased intervention, targeting overweight and obese children and their parents, has a long-term positive effect on weight development and health of the children. The alternative hypothesis to the zero hypothesis is that the children with overweight and obesity who participate in a one-year intervention together with their parents, both at completion of the six months intervention and at long term follow up will have reduced their BMI-for-age z-score (Iso-BMI) and have adopted healthy habits. The behavioral models and educational strategies will be tailored (by age, gender etc.) and include both general information and practical learning sessions.
This paper aims to describe the research protocol that will be used to determine the effectiveness of a health-social partnership intervention programme among community-dwelling older adults
The investigators propose in this project to determine the effect of 3 days of frequent interruption of prolonged sitting on metabolic health in healthy overweight sedentary adults (n=24), as compared to 3 days including a single long bout of isocaloric exercise or a control condition where subjects do not exercise but are subjected to prolonged sitting. The investigators believe that this proposed project will provide an initial evidence base for the health benefits of breaking up prolonged sitting with short bursts of moderate-intensity activity, like walking.
The study aims at: Using Intervention mapping as a planning approach for behavior change intervention programs, based on an ecological approach to health and local community and user participation. - Explore the behavioral change processes utilizing qualitative methods. - Develop theory-based behavior change programs across different domain at healthy living centres. - Evaluate the effect of behavior change intervention programs across different domains. - Increase health providers` competence in effective behavioral change intervention techniques by networks and education seminars between municipalities and research groups. - The programs will specifically target the underlying causes of chronic disease. The investigators will map the distribution of lifestyle habits among individuals and families. The investigators will also explore how lifestyle habits relate to known determinants of social health inequality, such as adverse previous experiences, participation in working life and low income. - The investigators also intend to study if socioeconomic differences are of importance for entering or dropping out of HLC interventions, and the ability to sustain lifestyle changes. The investigators will do so by stratified analyses, or by using socioeconomic variables as determinants in effect analyses.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if including fitness testing in preventive health checks increase cardiorespiratory fitness and motivation to change physical activity behavior compared with preventive health checks without fitness testing.
