Clinical Trial Description

Background: Adolescent is a critical period for many health-risk behaviours, such as alcohol consumption, smoking, having unsafe sex, insufficient exercise, and diet, psychological problems, which can be reduced by targeted web-based health education and consultation interventions. Web-based interventions have advantages in terms of acceptability and accessibility and have shown some study to promote health behaviours and e-Health literacy among adolescents.

Objective: The aims of this study was to examine the effectiveness of web-based health education and consultation on health promotion behaviors (ie, smoking, health responsibility, nutrition, interpersonal relationships, spiritual health, alcohol and substance abuse, positive life outlook, unsafe sex, malnutrition) of adolescents and their e-health literacy.

Methods: This randomized controlled study consisted of 252 adolescents, of whom 120 were in the control group and 132 comprised the intervention group. Sociodemographic characteristics of adolescents, internet usage, Adolescent Lifestyle Questionnaire (ALQ), e-health literacy, and information levels of the adolescents were determined before the intervention. No procedures were applied to the control group. A web-based health education and consultation program designed to promote a healthy lifestyle was applied to the intervention group. The results were re-evaluated three months after the intervention.

The investigators first hypothesis is that adolescents in the intervention (the web-based education and consultation) group would report significantly higher level of well-being ( ie, positive life outlook, stress management, spiritual health and health-related quality of life) and health behaviors (ie, health responsibility, nutrition, exercise ) at 3-month follow-up compared to the control group. Second, it is expected that participants in the intervention group would report a significantly higher level of eHealth literacy and knowledge at 3-month follow-up compared to the control group. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
