- Registration Number
- NCT05667753
- Lead Sponsor
- Karolinska Institutet
- Brief Summary
MINISTOP is an evidence-based app for parents of preschool aged children with the overall aim to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors and prevent the development of overweight and obesity. MINISTOP has been previously been evaluated in two previous trials (MINISTOP 1.0 and 2.0) with promising results. Therefore, the overall aim of this trial is to evaluate the large scale implementation of MINISTOP within Swedish primary child healthcare. The specific aims are to:
(i) To compare two different implementation strategies for MINISTOP 3.0 (i.e., Basic vs.
Enhanced) on: a) acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility as well as organizational readiness to implement MINISTOP 3.0 within primary child healthcare (primary outcomes) and b) reach, costs, adoption, and sustainability of MINISTOP 3.0 within primary child healthcare (secondary outcomes).
(ii) To compare two different implementation strategies of MINISTOP 3.0 within primary child healthcare on children's key dietary indicators, physical activity, and screen time (secondary outcomes).
(iii) To compare the cost-effectiveness of two different implementation strategies for MINISTOP 3.0.

Group Intervention Description Basic MINISTOP 3.0 The MINISTOP app will be offered to all parents of children at the 2.5/3-year routine visit at primary child healthcare. The child healthcare centers randomly allocated to the basic group will receive the basic implementation strategy package. Enhanced MINISTOP 3.0 The MINISTOP app will be offered to all parents of children at the 2.5/3-year routine visit at primary child healthcare. The child healthcare centers randomly allocated to the enhanced group will receive the enhanced implementation strategy package.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in acceptability of MINISTOP 3.0 Baseline, 3 &12 months after implementation Acceptability of MINISTOP 3.0 by child healthcare nurses (assessed by the questionnaire by Weiner et al.). It includes four questions assessed on a five point likert scale ranging from completely disagree to completely agree.
Change in appropriateness of MINISTOP 3.0 Baseline, 3 & 12 months after implementation Appropriateness of MINISTOP 3.0 by child healthcare nurses (assessed by the questionnaire by Weiner et al.). It includes four questions assessed on a five point likert scale ranging from completely disagree to completely agree.
Change in feasibility of MINISTOP 3.0 Baseline, 3 &12 months after implementation Feasibility of MINISTOP 3.0 by child healthcare nurses (assessed by the questionnaire by Weiner et al.). It includes four questions assessed on a five point likert scale ranging from completely disagree to completely agree.
Change in organizational readiness for implementing MINISTOP 3.0 Baseline 3 and 12 months after implementation Organizational readiness as perceived by child healthcare nurses, which will be measured using the E-READY questionnaire. This questionnaire consists of 32 questions rated on a 4-point likert scale.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Sustainability 12 months after implementation Semi-structured interviews with primary child healthcare nurses
Parental usage of MINISTOP 3.0 using objectively measured activity in the app 6 months after the families start using the MINISTOP app Number of recordings and messages read in the app (per time unity such as per week)
Children's intake of key dietary indicators as assess by a questionnaire. Baseline and 6 months after receiving MINISTOP 3.0 Intake of fruits, vegetables, sweet and savoury snacks, as well as sweetened beverages (grams/day)
Children's physical activity as assessed by a questionnaire Baseline and 6 months after receiving MINISTOP 3.0 Time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (minutes/day)
Children's screen time as assessed by a questionnaire Baseline and 6 months after receiving MINISTOP 3.0 Time spent watching screens (minutes/day)
Adoption of MINISTOP 3.0 3, 8, and 12 months after implementation Assessment based on a questionnaire from 1 to 5 with 5 indicating a better score
Costs of the implementation of MINISTOP 3.0 Baseline and 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 months after implementation. Collected through administrative data from participating child healthcare centers regarding implementing and maintaining the MINISTOP platform, as well as the nurses time with the MINISTOP program (Swedish Krona, SEK).
