What this trial studies
This study investigates the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based behavioral intervention called the Physical Activity Self-efficacy (PAS) intervention, designed to encourage physical activity among adults with obesity. Participants will be recruited from a local weight management center and randomly assigned to either the PAS intervention group or a usual care group. The study aims to assess how well the online intervention can be implemented and its effectiveness in improving self-efficacy related to physical activity. The trial will involve thirty participants and is set to begin recruitment in January 2024.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 64 with a body mass index of 25.00 kg/m2 or higher.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have access to the internet or who do not meet the eligibility criteria will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly enhance physical activity levels and self-efficacy in adults struggling with obesity.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with web-based interventions for promoting physical activity, suggesting this approach could be effective.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
There are five eligibility criteria for participation in this study. Values for each of the eligibility criteria will be based on self-report by the potential participant. Potential participants who do not meet one or more of the eligibility criteria will be informed that they are ineligible for the study and then will be taken to the exit page from the PAS website (http://pasintervention.com/login). * The first criterion is being between 18 and 64 years old, consistent with evidence-based age groupings for global recommendations on physical activity for health. * The second criterion is a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25.00 kg/m2, consistent with many physical activity interventions in adults with obesity. A justification for this criterion is the need to promote physical activity in a BMI-based population in which few individuals may meet public health guidelines for physical activity. * The third criterion is the ability to access the online intervention. This criterion will be assessed by asking them to confirm that they will have access to a technological device (e.g., computer, smart phone) that can access the online intervention via a web browser. * The fourth criterion is a willingness to comply with instructions for physical activity monitoring. This criterion will be assessed by asking them if they are willing to wear a physical activity monitor on their waist for two 7-day intervals and complete a daily log sheet regarding wear time during each of the two 7-day intervals in the study. A justification for this criterion is based on previous studies where a similar question was asked to potential participants at screening. Those who indicate a willingness to comply with instructions for physical activity monitoring will be asked to provide information about their non-dominant hand. * The final criterion is a willingness to respond to study-related contacts (e.g., email, text message, phone call). A justification for this criterion is that participants will be asked to complete some tasks in a specifically structured schedule.
