简要总结
Objectives: The overall objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the STAR-C digital coaching intervention for health-related lifestyle behavioural change.
Study design: This intervention is designed as a two-arm individual pragmatic one-sided crossover randomised controlled trial, with participants receiving immediate access to the digital coaching intervention (Arm 1) and no digital coaching intervention (Arm 2, delayed access three months).
Setting: The intervention is integrated into the Västerbotten Intervention Programme (VIP) in Västerbotten Region. In total, 1000 participants will be recruited from all VIP-participating primary healthcare centres in Västerbotten, proportional to the size of the VIP participants in each centre. All participants will receive regular VIP intervention with the VIP nurse before recruitment into the STAR-C intervention study.
The intervention is planned to run for six months in total, with in-person recruitment at the baseline and follow-up at one, three, and six months. Individuals who are bedridden, terminally ill or have severe communication problems and those who receive behavioural change treatment at the Behavioural Medicine Clinic will be excluded.
Measures: The primary outcome of the intervention is change in the readiness for behaviour change at three months. The secondary outcomes include: (i) actual changes in the behaviours, including use of tobacco cessation clinics, higher smoking and snus cessation rate, reduction in alcohol consumption, adoption of healthy food habits, increased level of physical activity and reduction of sedentary behaviours, self-rated health and well-being, comparing baseline and follow-up data; (ii) patterns and usage of the digital tool during the intervention period (for the intervention group).
These outcomes will be measured quantitatively using questionnaires. In addition, interviews and group interviews will be conducted to explore the barriers and facilitators for the adoption and maintenance of the STAR-C digital coaching intervention for VIP nurses and the adult population.
详细描述
Objectives:
To evaluate the effectiveness of the STAR-C digital coaching intervention for health-related lifestyle behavioural change.
The specific objectives are to:
- Investigate to what extent STAR-C digital coaching intervention leads to change in the readiness for behavioural change (sub-study 1).
- Evaluate the effect of the digital intervention on behavioural change, including visit to tobacco cessation clinic, higher smoking and snus cessation rate, reduction in alcohol consumption, adoption of healthy food habits, increased level of physical activity and reduction of sedentary behaviours (sub-study 1).
- Evaluate the effect of the digital intervention on self-rated health and well-being (sub-study 1).
- Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of STAR-C digital coaching intervention compared to the existing VIP intervention in promoting behavioural change among the adult population (sub-study 2).
- Evaluate barriers and facilitators for adopting and maintaining the utilisation of STAR-C digital coaching intervention among the adult population (sub-study 3) and health professionals (sub-study 5).
- Evaluate barriers and facilitators for adopting and maintaining health-related lifestyle behavioural change among the adult population (sub-study 4).
- Analyse the different patterns of digital tool usage that could explain the effectiveness of the different behaviour change techniques embedded in the intervention and their relation to the participants and their characteristics (readiness for change, motivation, barriers, etc.), observed across age groups, gender, education level and geographical area of residence (sub-study 6).
