Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators have developed an eHealth intervention based on self-regulation for the promotion of self-regulation of physical activity and fruit and vegetable intake among adults who visit general practice. Effectiveness of the intervention will be evaluated in a three-arm clustered quasi-experimental design in general practice.


Clinical Trial Description

To increase effect sizes and reach of computer tailored interventions, the theory of self-regulation was used, motivational and volitional determinants were targeted and the intervention was not served as a stand-alone intervention but was delivered in general practice. The intervention consists of three sessions for each behaviour (ie., physical activity, fruit and vegetables intake) and is available on a website and tablets to deliver it in general practice. Adults can start session one on a tablet in general practice or on their own computer at home, after receiving a flyer in general practice. In this first session adults receive general information, monitor their behaviour and receive tailored feedback to increase awareness. Adults are also guided to set goals and self-efficacy is increased by modeling and problem solving methods. In the second and third session, adults can evaluate if they reached their goals, make coping plans and adapt their action plans. To ensure the feasibility of implementing the intervention in general practice, general practitioners were involved from the beginning of the development.

A three-arm clustered quasi-experimental design will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. Therefore, general practitioners will be recruited and patients will be randomly assigned at general practice level. Within each practice, patients can be allocated in three groups. Group one is an intervention group in which general practitioners select and motivate adults to use the intervention. In group two, the selection and motivation of adults will be conducted by a researcher in the waiting room and finally, group three will be a control group in which adults are also selected by a researcher. The distinction between the two intervention groups is made to evaluate if general practitioners influence when recruiting participants leads to beneficial effects compared to when investigators recruit participants. Furthermore, it will also be investigated if the implementation of the intervention by general practitioners is feasible.

In the intervention groups, adults are asked to complete session one (S1) and measurements questions on a tablet in general practice or are referred with a flyer to do this at their computer at home. Adults, who do not use the tablet, have to fill in a short questionnaire and leave their email address to send them a reminder email to complete session one at home. In session one, adults choose themselves for which behaviour(s) they want to complete the intervention. One week (S2) and one month (S3) after session one is completed, adults will receive an email to respectively start session two and three for the chosen behaviour(s). In the control group, adults have to fill in a questionnaire at base line in general practice or at home (C1) and one month post intervention (C2). ;
