The program constructed using information obtained from the published clinical and dietary guideline in Malaysia.

Clinical Trial Description

Aim: To develop and assess a three-month, group-based community peer support program for Malaysian adults with MetS.

Method:

The PERSUADE module will be constructed using the Health Belief Model (HBM) to address relevant health messages from the appropriate guidelines and recent literature evidence on MetS among Malaysian adults. Following that, a minimum sample of 96 Malaysian adults with MetS will be randomised, either to the control group, who will receive one-time standard nutrition and lifestyle advice or the intervention group, who will participate in a three-month peer support program using the PERSUADE module. The participants will be followed up for three months post-intervention with data collection scheduled at baseline, 3-month and 6-month.

PERSUADE is thoroughly designed using the current available guidelines informed with gathered inputs on motivations and barriers towards healthy lifestyle among Malaysians. The program aims to improve the clinical outcomes of MetS component among participants of the intervention group, besides the impact of the peer support intervention on the dietary practices, physical activity levels and lifestyle behaviours of those participants. The successful outcome of this study can be an initiator for policy makers to encourage more rigorous promotion of such community-based programmes in the country. ;
