Clinical Trial Summary

Aim of the study is to find out if the live online course is effective with regard to health promotion. Older adults receive support to initiate a health behavior (i.e., to enhance physical activity or to improve food habits).

Motivation, confidence and self-management strategies are optimized to make sure participants are able to integrate the physical activity or healthy diet into their daily life.

Description:

Aim of the study is to support older adults to define a personal health behavior (to enhance physical activity, to improve food habits), to check and optimize this intention regarding self-efficacy and volitional competencies, such as action and coping planning, disability management to adopt and maintain their behavior successfully.

Research questions:

• What is the pathway from health information/intention to behavioural change (motivational and volitional processes)?

• Which are the crucial social-cognitive variables in educating/coaching adults with low health literacy in daily self-management?

• Which other resources (e.g. social support) should be targeted in interventions to empower people in health behaviour change and maintenance?
