NCT ID: NCT06468501 Not yet recruiting - Eating Behavior Clinical Trials

SEP and the Impact of Price on Food Selection in a Simulated Food Delivery App

Start date: July 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to compare taxation with subsidies to encourage healthier food choices in the out-of-home food sector. Participants will be asked to make hypothetical food choices in an online simulation study of a delivery app. Participants will be randomised into four different intervention groups: 1. Price reduction (10%) on healthier foods 2. Price increase (10%) to less healthy foods 3. A combination of price reduction to healthier foods and price increase to less healthy foods 4. Existing price structure (i.e. control group) The investigators will further examine effectiveness of these fiscal policies on healthy eating by socioeconomic position to understand whether these policies are equitable.

Out-of-home Consumer Food Purchase Behaviour in the Presence and Absence of Value Pricing and Price Promotions

Start date: June 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It is important to understand the role that price-based incentives in the out-of-home food sector play in food purchasing, and whether they lead to positive savings for the consumer (as they would likely anticipate when making purchases), or whether these incentives lead to increased spending and increased purchasing of unhealthy products. Additionally, it is important to consider whether the impacts of price-based incentives differ according to a range of demographic characteristics. For example, some evidence suggests that effects of removing a price-based incentive are greater in individuals with a higher BMI. Evidence also suggests there may also be differences in impact according to socioeconomic position (SEP) as individuals in lower SEP groups reportedly use price-based incentives more frequently. If lower SEP individuals are more affected by price-based incentives (i.e. they prompt ordering in excess and greater spend), then the banning of such strategies could help to reduce health inequalities, by nudging lower SEP consumers toward healthier dietary choices in the OOH food sector. To date, it is unclear what effect policies which remove specific types of price-based incentives would be likely to have on consumer behaviour. In particular, individual product price reductions (e.g. £ off this product), bulk buy price reductions (e.g., Save £ when bought together) and volume value pricing (e.g., the price increase from a small to large portion size not being directly proportional to volume increase). Therefore our primary objectives are: • To observe the effect of removing price-based incentives (individual product price reductions, bulk buy price reductions, volume value pricing) in the OOH food sector on: - Energy purchased per household - Money spent per household Secondary Objectives: • To explore whether any effects of removing price-based incentives differ based on participant characteristics (BMI, SEP, food choice motives)

The SlimBiotics postbiotic formula is the first plant-based postbiotic targeting weight management and metabolic health. Other competing postbiotics are isolated from humans (feces) but the strains in SlimBiotics were isolated from a fermented plant (millet porridge cereal) This product contains L. fermentum K8 Postbiotic.

NCT ID: NCT05806112 Enrolling by invitation - Depression Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of Interventions to Improve Resiliency & Burnout in Behavioral Health Residential Staff

Start date: March 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Integrated Resiliency Training and Task Sharing (IRTTS) to Workplace Improvement Learning Collaborative (WILC) in group homes for adults with serious mental illness and/or intellectual and developmental disabilities. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is IRTTS superior to WILC in improving residential care worker (RCW) resiliency; stress management and burnout; depression and anxiety; and positive health behaviors? - Is IRTTS superior to WILC in improving RCW turnover/retention; RCW sick days/absenteeism; and group home safety and resident incidents? - What are the barriers, facilitators, and resources required to successfully implement IRTTS and WILC? Participants may engage in training sessions, collaborate with residents and other RCWs in their group homes, attend meetings with RCWs from other group homes, complete surveys, participate in focus groups, and/or give qualitative interviews. Researchers will compare IRTTS to WILC to see which intervention should be implemented to achieve the greatest improvement in RCW resiliency and greatest reduction in burnout and turnover in group homes for adults with serious mental illness and/or developmental and intellectual disabilities.

Using Behavioural Economics for More Sustainable Physical Activity mHealth Incentives: the Caterpillar App

Start date: September 8, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This 12-week study aims to test a sustainable incentive-based physical activity app program that may lower the size of incentive needed to stimulate physical activity and drive incentive costs down. Following the 5-day starting assessment (baseline) period, participants will be able to earn incentives in the form of loyalty points when they reach their daily step goals set by the Caterpillar app. Over the course of the 12-week study period, users will be rewarded for reaching their step goals through three different incentive programs in 30 day intervals: Month 1 (users will earn daily rewards of 3¢ per day upon achieving personalized daily step goal); Month 2 (users will earn weekly rewards (25¢ per week goal met 5+ times); Month 3 (users will earn team-based rewards (35¢ per week if 10+ goals are reached collaboratively with another user).

NCT ID: NCT05074108 Withdrawn - Mindfulness Clinical Trials

Mitigating and Preventing Disordered Eating in Transitioning Service Members

Start date: January 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Despite documented evidence of disordered eating (DE) among Active Duty (AD) Service Members (SM) and Veterans, DE has not been assessed in SM undergoing the transition from AD to Veterans status (AD-VS). The objective of the current study is to explore gender differences and associations between nutrition knowledge, DE attitudes and behaviors, mental health, and military-specific experiences in women and men undergoing the AD-VS transition, and then use this information along with qualitative feedback from focus groups to inform adaptations of an existing nutrition education program for pilot testing in AD-VS women and men.

Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is a type-1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation RCT comparing a novel family-inclusive childhood obesity treatment program, the "Healthy Living Program" (HeLP), to a protocol that enhances usual primary care to deliver Recommended Treatment of Obesity in Primary Care (RTOP). Children with obesity and their families will be referred to the study by primary care providers and randomized to HeLP or RTOP. The clinical setting is a practice-based research network serving majority Hispanic and Medicaid-insured populations. The intensive phase and booster sessions of HeLP will take place at recreation centers located near the clinics and will be led by health educators employed by the clinics. Visits with primary care providers (PCPs) for HeLP maintenance or RTOP will occur at the clinics.

NCT ID: NCT04754074 Active, not recruiting - Sleep Clinical Trials

Diet, Food, Exercise and Nutrition During Social Distancing

DFEND
Start date: February 12, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Our long-term goal is to contribute to the development of evidence-based nutritional and physical activity recommendations for the prevention and management of overweight and obesity and related chronic diseases. The overall objective for this study is to determine if a 20-week educational program, project DFEND, related to behavior change and health will improve nutrition and physical activity outcomes as well as indicators of wellbeing. Our central hypothesis is that regular attendance of weekly lectures, weekly meetings with personalized coaches, and weekly health challenges via virtual platforms (e.g. Zoom, Facebook, YouTube) will improve health outcomes related to nutrition and physical activity. Our rationale for these studies is that the results of this research will enhance the potential to develop evidence-based nutritional and physical activity behavioral recommendations to treat and/or prevent development of overweight and obesity.
