Filter by:This 12-week study compares the effectiveness of personalized daily step goals generated by a machine learning algorithm in the Sprout app versus fixed daily step goals of 10,000 steps among adults. Participants will be recruited through the Sprout app, and after a 1-week run-in period, they will be assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group will receive adaptive goals based on their historical step data, while the control group will have a fixed goal. Both groups will receive financial incentives. This study aims to inform future interventions measuring changes in daily steps and app engagement levels (i.e., time spent on app, number of app opens) by studying how using financial incentives and an adaptive goal-setting design can improve physical activity levels of app users, informed by a machine learning algorithm.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test and compare the effects of a tailored algorithm recommendation of sport activities concreted in challenges to improve some critical performance dimensions. Q1: Improving participant performance is achieved by using personalized sports activity recommendation using an algorithm and tracking compliance using a decentralized application (dApp)? Q2: Are participants satisfied with the performance and simplicity of the dApp used? Participants will be asked to do specific activities recommended by the developed recommender system. The activities to be carried out will be conditioned by the profile obtained from each participant at the beginning of the intervention. They will consist of reinforcement activities for the dimensions with the lowest scores. Researchers will compare a experimental group and a control group to see if the dimensions assessed at the beginning of the intervention were improved.
Brief Summary: Purpose: This clinical trial aims to investigate the effect of educational interventions (HeBSaPU) based on the Health Belief Model on safe pesticide use and biomarkers among greenhouse agricultural workers. The main questions it aims to answer are; 1. Compared to the control group, HeBSaPU affects safe pesticide use practices in greenhouse agricultural workers. 2. Compared to the control group, HeBSaPU affects safe pesticide use health beliefs in greenhouse agricultural workers. 3. Compared to the control group, HeBSaPU affects pesticide exposure determined by urine samples in greenhouse agricultural workers. Participants took educational interventions based on Health Belief Model (HBM) sub-dimensions; including educational posters, free personal protective equipment (PPE) incentives, short reminder messages, and demonstration components about correct PPE usage.
The purpose of this three-arm, pilot, randomized controlled trial is to examine the metabolic and behavioral impacts of consuming a diet characterized by protein from red meat, a meat analogue, or beans/legumes.
In recent decades, the poverty rate in Uganda decreased by more than half, from 56% in 1992/1993 to 21.4% in 2019/2020. However, Uganda remains as one of the poorest countries in the world. Recognising that poverty is a multifaceted issue, International Care Ministries (ICM), a non-profit organisation, implements a program called Transform to target households living in poverty from 3 dimensions: values, livelihood and health. ICM first started the Transform program in the Philippines and recently expanded to Uganda and Guatemala. The program includes 15 sessions and delivers them to the participants during the course of a 4-month period. Previously, three randomised control trials found positive impacts of Transform on certain poverty indicators in the Philippines. Although positive impacts were found in the Philippines, the effectiveness of Transform in Uganda is unknown.
The proposed project will implement and evaluate a brief Community Health Worker (CHW) intervention through the Albany Area Primary Health Care, a rural Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). The primary goal of this study is to maximize effective outreach, education, and communication through CHWs in order to facilitate improved COVID-19 vaccine confidence and uptake in underserved and vulnerable communities. CHWs will be deployed to the homes of adults with increased risk of morbidity and mortality (i.e., African Americans or Latinos with uncontrolled diabetes or prediabetes, age <50 years, and non-COVID-19 vaccinated) in order to educate them about diabetes, COVID-19 and related vaccines. Health assessments, including blood glucose measurement, will be conducted on the indexed patient and offered to all other adult family members in the household (i.e., "bubble"). Adults with Type 2 diabetes likely live in households with other adults who have or are at increased risk for diabetes (i.e., prediabetes and obesity).1 It is expected that they will also share similar COVID-19 exposure risk. The specific aims are to: 1) Evaluate a community-driven education program to increase and enhance COVID-19 vaccine confidence and uptake in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes and their families (i.e., their "bubble") and 2) Evaluate a community-driven education program to improve diabetes self-management behaviors and related outcomes (e.g., blood glucose) in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes in rural, Southwest Georgia.
The study will evaluate the effect of an existing hospital-based obesity treatment in children and adolescents in relation to weight loss and motivation. This is to ensure that children who have developed obesity have the possibility to obtain a healthier lifestyle, including a healthier body weight during their school years. This study will test whether an obesity treatment program designed for school children can reduce the degree of overweight in children and adolescents with overweight and obesity.
This is a prospective, double-blinded, 16-week, randomized controlled trial (RCT). Young adults aged 18-25 years are recruited in this study. Based on King's (1981) goal attainment theory, a diet-exercise program is created. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of physiological indicators and health behaviours by conducting an exerciset programme and intensive therapy.
The aim of this two-armed cluster-randomized controlled trial is to investigate the implementation of the I-PROTECT using the RE-AIM evaluation framework that addresses five dimensions of effectiveness and implementation of interventions: reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance.
The current research on the impact of motivation in return to work after work disability has 2 major parts: (1) a questionnaire study for which SMEC gave approval, this part is completed, (2) a RCT. The RCT will compare two groups: (a) a consult as usual (a regular consult with the medical advisor) and (b) an intervention based on motivational interviewing performed by a medical advisor.
