Adolescent Obesity Clinical Trial
Official title:
TeenPower: e-Empowering Teenagers to Prevent Obesity
Transdisciplinary practice-based action research project that aims to develop innovative
cognitive-behavioral interventions to empower adolescents, through increased and interactive
contact between adolescent and multidisciplinary healthcare team. Project born from the
discussion with trans-territorial stakeholders (health professionals and school communities),
in the absence of an integrated, creative and dynamic strategy of overweight prevention and
promotion of salutogenic behaviors in adolescents.
The polytechnics of Leiria, Santarém and Castelo Branco are co-promotors of this project, as
well as Município de Leiria (City Council), key partners in the development and
implementation of the intervention program. It is expected the partnership with ARS-Centro.
The main goal is the development, implementation and evaluation of a program for the
promotion of healthy behaviors and prevention of obesity in adolescence, based on e-therapy
and sustained by the case management methodology.
Transdisciplinary practice-based action research project that aims to develop innovative
interventions to promote healthy behaviors. Project called from a territorial issue,
identified and discussed with local stakeholders (health professionals and school community),
in the absence of an integrated, creative and dynamic strategy of overweight prevention and
promotion of salutogenic behaviors in adolescents.
Adolescent obesity has reached epidemic proportions, being urgent to find effective
prevention strategies and adequate resources that induce change at the individual, family and
community level. The core components of classic prevention programs have been unable to
obtain the desired adherence. The solution may involve a more extensive and frequent contact
with the healthcare team and the use of alternative communication channels and
interacting/dynamic technologies with adolescents.
Given the research team's experience in developing innovative products and healthcare
technological solutions, this need was faced as an opportunity to network and explore
synergies between territorial partners. The polytechnics of Leiria (IPL), Santarém (IPS) and
Castelo Branco (IPCB) are co-promotors of this project, as well as the Município de Leiria
(City Council). It is also expected the partnership with the local primary healthcare
stakeholders (Administração Regional de Saúde do Centro: ARS-C), key partners in the
development phase and in the implementation of the intervention program. An agile product
development process will be adopted, an iterative and incremental approach for planning and
implementing, in an intense and permanent dialogue with healthcare professionals, and
adolescents throughout the platform and the mobile app development process.
The main goal is the development, implementation and evaluation of a program for the
promotion of healthy behaviors and prevention of obesity in adolescence, based on e-therapy
and sustained by the case management methodology. The project is directed to the
cognitive-behavioral empowerment of adolescents, through increased and interactive contact
between adolescents and multidisciplinary healthcare team. The use of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) in the intervention can optimize resources and maximize
impact, as a complement to conventional approaches, The project includes the development of
three complementary studies: (S1) evaluation of adolescents' health status and
cognitive-behavioral indicators, (S2) usability evaluation of the TeenPower platform and
mobile app (S3) implementation and adherence evaluation to the TeenPower intervention
program.
The positive evaluation of the intervention program will stimulate the inclusion of ICT in
the promotion of salutogenic behaviors and overweight prevention, creating technological
interfaces that will allow customizing the intervention parameters and facilitating the
monitoring and tracking.
