Filter by:This is a two-group parallel randomized controlled trial testing whether a gamified healthy living smartphone app for youth aged 10-16 representative of the Canadian population and one of their parents is more effective at improving a composite of health behaviours (diet, physical activity, sleep and screen time) than a simple app providing links to healthy living websites.
Although lifestyle modification programs have been shown to be effective in preventing diabetes in older populations, interventions in women with recent gestational diabetes (GDM) clearly need to be adapted to address their unique barriers to behavior change in order to optimize adherence. The low participating rates in many studies using individual or group sessions, reflect how difficult it is to engage women in the first years postpartum. Since women with glucose intolerance (prediabetes) have the highest risk to develop type 2 diabetes (T2DM), we designed the MELINDA pilot study, a randomized controlled trial with 1 year of follow-up to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a telephone -and mobile (app) based lifestyle coaching intervention in women with glucose intolerance after a recent history of GDM to promote a healthy lifestyle.
The current project seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of numerous educational strategy interventions to increase the percentage of water consumed among early elementary school students over a 1-year period.
In recent years, Hong Kong is undergoing rapid changes together with macro social and economic trends. The increasingly complex and diverse family structure is leading to a major concern in the well-being of families, including their health, happiness and harmony (3Hs). Family life and health education should be strengthened to meet the increasing needs of healthy lifestyle promotion. In light of these concerns, the Happy Family Kitchen Movement (HFKM) project, with a focus on "FAMILY Holistic Health", will be conducted at territory-wide level in Hong Kong. HFKM is a community-based research project to develop, implement and evaluate a community-based family intervention program for improving family well-being. It is expected that participants of the community-based family interventions will gain knowledge on family holistic health and in turn promote a healthy lifestyle for 3Hs.
Cardiovascular disease continues to be the principal cause of death in the world. At present, the risk factors for cardiovascular disease continue to appear at an earlier age permitting prevention activities and the promotion of healthy habits to focus on children. Numerous studies have shown that these factors can be controlled in children through school-based interventions. At the same time, data shows that there is a persistence of unhealthy lifestyles (ie sedentary lifestyles, the use of tobacco, etc…) that begin in childhood and are perpetuated until adulthood. Therefore, the acquisition of healthy lifestyles should begin as early as possible. The SI Program for Preschool Education is an intervention that is both school and home based designed to improve the habits, knowledge and attitudes in four key areas: Food (diet), Physical Activity, Knowledge of the Body and Managing Emotions. This intervention will be implemented in children from three to five years of age, in their parents and in their teachers. To evaluate the efficacy of this intervention, the principal aim of the phase of evaluations is to quantify the behavior changes in the three groups/populations mentioned. The evaluation has been designed according to the controlled intervention model, in which twenty-four schools from the Community of Madrid will be randomized to implement the Program si! for Preschool Education or to function as control schools.
