Efficacy of Different Behaviour Change Techniques in MyPlan 2.0

December 3, 2021 updated by: University Ghent

A Parallel-group Randomized Trial to Compare the Efficacy of Different Behaviour Change Techniques in the e- and M-health Intervention 'MyPlan 2.0'

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of intervention 'MyPlan 2.0' and the efficacy of the different behaviour change techniques that are included. Eight groups will be created that will receive a different version of the intervention, varying in three behaviour change techniques (action planning, coping planning, self-monitoring).

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.

Detailed Description

The effectiveness of the self-regulation-based e- and m-health intervention 'MyPlan 2.0' on changing physical activity and sedentary behaviour in the adult population will be investigated. Furthermore, the role of three different behaviour change techniques (action planning, coping planning, self-monitoring) will be examined via a 2x2x2 design, in which 8 groups are created that all receive a different version of the intervention.

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.
