An Intervention to Promote Active Transport for Short Distance Travel in Older Adolescents

June 30, 2016 updated by: University Ghent
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a theory- and evidence-based intervention aiming to promote active transport for short distance travel among older adolescents is effective in increasing attitude, subjective norm, self-efficacy, awareness and habit towards active transport, and intention to use active transport after obtaining a driving license.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: active transport lesson
Participants receive a 2-hour lesson (at school) promoting active transport for short distance travel to various destinations.
Other: Active transport lesson
Experimental: active transport lesson and Facebook group
Participants receive a 2-hour lesson (at school) promoting active transport for short distance travel to various destinations. Furthermore, they are asked to join a Facebook group on active transport in which 3 messages per week are posted during an eight-week period. The Facebook posts aim to promote the use of active transport for short distance travel.
Other: Active transport lesson and Facebook group
No Intervention: control group
Participants in the control group do not receive the active transport lesson or the Facebook group.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in perceived benefits towards active transport
Time Frame: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Perceived benefits towards active transport (e.g. health, cost, parking lot, independence,...) will be assessed via seventeen items with a five-point answer format.
The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in perceived barriers towards active transport
Time Frame: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Perceived barriers towards active transport (e.g. time, accidents, weather, sweating,...) will be assessed via twenty-one items with a five-point answer format.
The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in subjective norm towards active transport
Time Frame: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Subjective norm towards active transport will be assessed via three items (family, friends, partner) with a five-point answer format.
The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in self-efficacy towards active transport
Time Frame: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Self-efficacy towards active transport (e.g. bad weather, darkness, when tired,...) will be assessed via eleven items with a five-point answer format.
The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in awareness towards active transport
Time Frame: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Awareness towards active transport (e.g. ecology, health benefits, private car ownership,...) will be assessed via eight items with a five-point answer format.
The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in habit towards active transport
Time Frame: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Habit towards active transport (e.g. walking or cycling for transport is something I automatically do) will be assessed via four items with a five-point answer format.
The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Change in intention to use active transport after obtaining a driving license
Time Frame: The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
Intention to use active transport after obtaining a driving license will be assessed via three items with a five-point answer format (e.g. how much do you want to keep using active transport for short distances after obtaining a driving licence).
The outcome will be measured at baseline (before start intervention), posttest (1 week after the intervention) and follow-up (8 weeks after the intervention)
