(Cost)Effectiveness of the Intervention 'Gezond en Goed Met Elkaar' (GGME)

April 28, 2026 updated by: Iris Koelmans, VU University of Amsterdam

The goal of this intervention study is to learn if the intervention can increase positive health and health literacy in people with limited health literacy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does participating in the intervention 'Gezond en goed met elkaar' increase participant's positive health?
  • Does participating in the intervention 'Gezond en goed met elkaar' improve health literacy?

Researchers will compare people who participate in the intervention with people who haven't participated in the intervention yet.

Participants will:

  • participate in the intervention (3 months)
  • fill out questionnaires every 3 months

Study Overview

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

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.

Experimental: Intervention 'Gezond en goed met elkaar'
see description of the intervention 'Gezond en goed met elkaar'
Behavioral: Gezond en goed met elkaar
The intervention 'Gezond en goed met elkaar' focuses on improving (positive) health literacy and literacy. The six domains of "positive health" are the focus of the intervention meetings. This intervention has been made available for citizens of Almere, Zwolle, Gouda, Nunspeet and Leusden through collaboration with these municipalities. Lifestyle coaches working in these municipalities implement the intervention.
No Intervention: Control group
Participants do not receive the intervention yet. They have to wait 3 months before they start with the intervention. They will fill out questionnaires at baseline, 3, 6 and 9 months.
No Intervention: Control group 2
Participants do not receive the intervention yet. They have to wait 6 months before they start with the intervention. They will fill out questionnaires at baseline, 3, 6 and 9 months.

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
Positive Health
Time Frame: From baseline measurement to 9 months later
Positive Health questionnaire developed by Institute of Positive Health (iPH) 17 items, answered on a 10-point Likert scale
From baseline measurement to 9 months later
Vitality
Time Frame: From baseline measurement to 9 months later
SF-12 Vitality (VT) question 6b
From baseline measurement to 9 months later

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Health Literacy
Time Frame: From baseline measurement to 9 months later

HLS-EU-Q16 adapted to B1 language level For the psychometric analyses of HLS-EU-Q16, each of the 16 questions were coded according to the following: 'very difficult'=1 point, 'fairly difficult'=2 points, 'fairly easy'=3 points or 'very easy'=4 points, giving a total of 16-64 scores. The HLS-EU-Q16 manual recommends dichotomizing the answers from HLS-EU-Q16 ('very difficult'/'fairly difficult'=0, 'fairly easy'/'very easy'=1; total 0-16 scores)

1 & 2 -> 0 3 & 4 -> 1

dividing the total scores into three categories of HL: 0-8 = inadequate 9-12 = problematic 13-16 = adequate
