Clinical Trial Summary

Cluster-Randomized Clinical trial, which includes the development and activation of an intervention program among young adolescents and their parents. Study hypothesis is that the intervention program will yield improvement in adolescents whose parents participated in the program, in comparison with the adolescents whose parents weren't involved in the intervention. Results will be measured using the study questionnaire, to be filled out by the participants before, after, and three months after the completion of the program. The questionnaire will include validated questionnaires with good psychometric qualities. The study protocol was approved by Tel Hai College institutional review board. Parents of all participants, in the intervention and in the control group, received information about the program and the study and were asked to provide informed consent.


Description:

Early adolescent (10-13 years) is characterized by hormonal changes and accelerated physiological growth. Significant risk factors for the physical and mental health of children and adolescents include, among other things, disordered eating patterns, overweight and reduced physical activity, low self-esteem and negative body image. "In Favor of Myself" is a preventive intervention program. The program's primary goal is to increase adolescents' self-esteem and to prevent negative self-image and body image, as well as to development media literacy. In this study, the investigators will focus on the "Young In Favor of Myself " program, designed for ages 10-12, grades 5 and 6, and its main core is the development of self-care. To increase the effect of "Young In Favor of Myself " program, on the adolescents, the investigators have developed a program that will be passed on to parents through a telephone application. The study will first assess the parents' influence on the program, and then evaluate the difference in adolescent outcomes from the program with or without this supplement. Results will be measured using the study questionnaire, to be filled out by the participants (both parents and adolescents) before, after, and three months after the completion of the program. The questionnaire will include validated questionnaires with good psychometric qualities. The study protocol was approved by Tel Hai College institutional review board. Parents of all participants, in the intervention and in the control group, received information about the program and the study and were asked to provide informed consent.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change from Baseline in the Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire-4, Affects by Media subscale. The Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire (Schaefer et al., 2015). The investigators included the Media subscale, including 4 items. Items are rated on a 5-point scale: (1) always, (2) often, (3) sometimes, (4) rarely, (5) never. The total score is based on computing the average. A higher score indicates higher pressure from the media to change one's look. Measured three times over six months: at baseline, after the program ends, and three months after the completion of the program, measuring a change in scores
Primary Change from Baseline in Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965)- 10 items. Scoring involves a method of combined ratings. Low self-esteem responses are "disagree" or "strongly disagree" on items 1, 3, 4, 7, 10, and "strongly agree" or "agree" on items 2, 5, 6, 8, 9. Two or three out of three correct responses to items 3, 7, and 9 are scored as one item. One or two out of two correct responses for items 4 and 5 are considered as a single item; items 1,8, and 10 are scored as individual items; and combined correct responses (one or two out of two) to items 2 and 6 are considered to be a single item. Measured three times over six months: at baseline, after the program ends, and three months after the completion of the program, measuring a change in scores
Primary Change from Baseline in Body Esteem Scale Body Esteem Scale- This questionnaire examines self-esteem of body and physical appearance and consists of 3 subscales: appearance (10 items), weight (8 items) and attribution 187 to others (5 items). Items are rated on a 5-point scale: (1) never, (2) rarely, (3) sometimes, (4) 188 often, and (5) always. A higher score indicates higher body-esteem (Mendelson, Mendelson, & White, 2001) Measured three times over six months: at baseline, after the program ends, and three months after the completion of the program, measuring a change in scores
Primary Change from Baseline in Eating Disorder Examination- Questionnaire (EDE-Q8) Eating Disorder Examination- Questionnaire short version (EDE-Q8). The items are rated on a 6-point scale: (1) never, (2) rarely, (3) sometimes, (4) often, (5) usually, and (6) always. EDE-Q provides assessment of eating disorder psychopathology related to anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge-eating disorder (BED). (Kliem et al, 2016) Measured three times over six months: at baseline, after the program ends, and three months after the completion of the program, measuring a change in scores
Primary Change from Baseline in Advertising Scale The Advertising scale contains 1 item- Identification of strategies used by media. This question is reflected as a protective factor. It contains 8 different strategies which participants choose from: higher number of strategies identified indicate better media literacy. (Golan et al., 2013). Measured three times over six months: at baseline, after the program ends, and three months after the completion of the program, measuring a change in scores
Primary Change from Baseline in Self-Caring Developed by Prof. Moria Golan and assessed in previous research. Includes 14 items which are rated on a 4-point scale: (1) never, (2) rarely, (3) sometimes, (4) always. Items are summed, and higher scores indicate higher self-care behaviors. This questionnaire was designed to assess self care behaviors in adolescents. Measured three times over six months: at baseline, after the program ends, and three months after the completion of the program, measuring a change in scores
Secondary The 11-item Knowledge Test BEC The 11-item Knowledge Test BEC was developed to assess knowledge of parenting strategies to prevent unhealthy eating and body dissatisfaction in young children. Scores are summed across the 11 items giving a total score ranging between 11 and 44, with higher scores indicating greater knowledge of parenting strategies. Measured three times over six months: at baseline, after the program ends, and three months after the completion of the program, measuring a change in scores
