NCT ID: NCT05321238 Completed - Excessive Drinking Clinical Trials

The Role of Agency and Threat-Immediacy in Interactive Digital Narrative Fear Appeals

Start date: November 26, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Aims: The first aim of the study was to assess the effect of agency, i.e. the perception of making meaningful decisions, in an interactive digital narrative fear appeal on self-efficacy beliefs concerning the ability to reduce alcohol intake among college students. Second, we assessed whether the communicated timeframe (short-term / long-term) of the threat presented in the narrative moderates the effect of agency on self-efficacy. Lastly, to validate the effect of the intervention on behavioural outcomes we assesed whether self-efficacy has an effect on behavioural intention measures. The study was a 2 (agency: low / high) x 2 (time-frame: immediate / distant) between-subjects online experiment.

Promoting Responsible Drinking: An Internet-based, Interactive Computer Tailored Intervention

Start date: April 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Excessive alcohol use is associated with a range of serious and costly health, social, and economic consequences at the individual and societal level. This program of research serves as a venue by which to produce and test an innovative, science-based, and cost-effective means to intervene in a private, convenient, and individualized way with employed adults who report non-dependent levels of risky drinking. Responsible Drinking offers computer-tailored intervention sessions directed at increasing readiness to limit drinking to national guidelines for low-risk drinking and a complementary dynamic web portal providing additional information, activities, and strategies designed to activate and reinforce the change process. The primary objective is to complete and enhance the development of Responsible Drinking and test it in an effectiveness trial. In Phase II the program capabilities and innovation will expand to integrate the e-Health components (CTI and e-Workbook) with m-Health (mobile health) technologies. The e-Health components will be enhanced to offer a more interactive and engaging user experience. In addition, m-Health technologies (text messaging and mobile device browsing optimization) will be integrated to support engagement in the program and flexible delivery options. 996 employed adults will be recruited to participate in the randomized trial. The treatment group will receive three intervention sessions during the course of six months and group differences on a number of outcomes will be evaluated at 12 and 18 month follow-up assessments.

NCT ID: NCT01638338 Completed - Excessive Drinking Clinical Trials

Risky Drinkers and the Web: a RCT Study in Region Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

EFAR-FVG
Start date: December 1, 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The project aims to develop a new approach to risky drinkers by providing a facilitated website access and creating a local integrated support network. In order to do so: 1) A non inferiority-randomised controlled study will be performed to test the hypothesis that: Brief intervention for risky drinkers delivered in primary care through facilitated access to an alcohol reduction website has non inferior outcomes to face to face brief intervention.

WHO-HPH Recognition Project on Fast-Track Implementation of Clinical Health Promotion

RP
Start date: January 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The project's background is the notion that patient centred clinical health promotion has been shown to significantly improve both outcomes and patient safety. Accordingly, the WHO describes health promotion as a key dimension of quality in hospitals, and the organization has developed standards on the topic in order to help hospital management and staff members to assess and improve the quality of health care and thereby achieve better health for patients, staff, and community. Even so, however, health promotion is still a very implicit part of nearly all quality standards on hospitals. Moreover, assessing hospitals departments' health promotion performance is still quite an unexplored area. On this basis, this project will test a new recognition process that uses the relevant WHO-HPH tools and standards to assess performance, by way of explicit documentation and evaluation of clinical health promotion activity. The project is deigned as a RCT, with a control group that undergoes the recognition process immediately and a control group that continue usual clinical routine. Then, after one year, the control group also begins the recognition process (= delayed start), while the Intervention group (=immediate-start) continues with the recognition process. Doing this allows for a great array of measurements, and hopefully the project will then show whether the recognition process really benefits implementation of health promotion in hospitals and health services, and also, if this really generates better health gains for patients and staff. The outcome measurements will be frequency of health promotion services delivered on smoking, excessive alcohol use, overweight, malnutrition, and physical activity to patients in need. Such services could for instance be motivational counselling and brief interventions, as well as intervention, rehabilitation and after treatment. Physical, mental, and social health status among patients and staff will be measured by short form (SF36).
