NCT03136211

Brief Summary

This study examines the effectiveness and the costs of a complex multiple risk behavior intervention to promote healthy behaviors in people aged between 45 and 75 years attended in Primary Health Care services. This intervention aims to reduce tobacco use, to enhance adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern and to increase physical activity. The study also seeks to provide evidence on the strategies to integrate health promotion into the usual clinical practice of primary care providers.

Study Arms (2)

EIRA intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

EIRA intervention It is based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) and States of Change and it is made by physicians and nurses in routine care of primary care practices according to the conceptual framework of the "5A": Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, and Arrange. It consists of a first visit of screening ("Ask"). Subsequently, the professional develops a personalized plan that is negotiated with the participant ("Advise" and "Assess"). This plan is reviewed during successive visits and positive changes are reinforced and new objectives are negotiated ("Assist" and "Arrange"). The motivational interview is the essential tool of the intervention. The intervention is carried out to different levels: individual, group and community.

Behavioral: EIRA intervention

Usual care

NO INTERVENTION

Health providers of this group integrate in their practice the recommendations of the Program of Preventive Activities and Health Promotion (PAPPS)". These guidelines are based on systematic screening and brief advice for the prevention of cardiovascular and mental diseases and cancer as well as vaccine recommendations.

Interventions

Individual intervention has an average intensity between 2 and 3 visits; if necessary, professionals have the freedom to make a greater number of visits. Group intervention is carried out through health education workshops. These workshops take place 15-20 days after initiating the individual intervention and they are conducted by primary care providers in the health center. A group of 12-15 people attend in each workshop. Community intervention focuses mainly on the social prescription of resources and activities that are carried out in the community where the participant person resides. In addition the intervention has the support of information and communication technologies, such as a web addressed to the participant, a mobile app or the sending personalized text messages.
