Study summary

More information is needed about effective ways to help people begin to change their lifestyle behaviours, particularly physical activity and diet. The investigators propose to test a 'tool' that can be used to guide discussions between people and health professionals about their physical activity and diet habits, so that people may be supported better in making decisions about why and how they might begin to fit more exercise and healthy food into their daily routines and make long-term changes. The investigators will explore the feasibility of using this tool in general practice, reviewing behaviours after 1 and 3 months. Patients' and healthcare professionals' views of its use and how it influenced decisions will inform development of the tool's design and a study of its effectiveness in helping people to begin to change their behaviour and achieve healthy lifestyles.

Read the detailed description

Healthier lifestyles, relating to physical activity and diet, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. However, making and sustaining lifestyle changes is difficult. More information is needed about effective ways to help people begin to change their lifestyle behaviours. The investigators propose to test the feasibility of using a 'tool' (the SHARED-D questionnaire) in guiding discussions between people and health professionals about physical activity and diet, and support people in making decisions about why and how they might begin to fit more exercise and healthy food into their daily routines. The 'tool' (SHARE-D) consists of questions to help people think about their personal circumstances and their motivation, opportunities, capabilities and priorities, and includes information about heart disease and stroke.

The investigators will explore the use of this tool in general practice, assessing patients' physical activity and diet behaviour after 1 and 3 months. Patients' and healthcare professionals' views of its use and how it influenced decisions will help to improve the tool's design. Participants' opinions regarding its format and method of delivery will inform future plans for its use and the design of a study of its effectiveness in helping people to begin to change their behaviour and achieve healthy lifestyles, hoping to lead to improved quality of life for people with heart disease and stroke.

    The intervention, a shared decision-making tool ('SHARE-D'), which is a paper-based questionnaire, will be used jointly by a health professional and patient to facilitate decision-making about initiating change in physical activity or diet behaviour

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Recruitment Rate

    numbers of patients attending a baseline assessment, compared to numbers invited to participate

    Time frame: 4 months overall recruitment (responses to invitations recorded within 4 weeks of invitation being sent)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Completion Rate

    numbers of enrolled participants who complete all assessments and reviews

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. Diet Behaviour - Fibre Intake

    Dietary Instrument for Nutritional Education (DINE) questionnaire - measure of diet fibre content; maximum score = 61; minimum = 3; higher score indicates better outcome

    Time frame: 3 months

  3. Physical Activity Behaviour

    RPAQ questionnaire -self-reported frequency of episodes of different activities representing levels of sedentary behaviour and of light, moderate and vigorous physical activity in 4 weeks prior to completion of the questionnaire; focus on measure of sedentary behaviour indicated by time (hours) spent watching TV/weekday

    Time frame: 3 months

  4. Objective Measure of Physical Activity

    accelerometer measurement of duration of light, moderate and vigorous physical activity per day over a 7-day period

    Time frame: 2 periods of 7-day measurement: baseline and after 3 months

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jun 2016 to primary completion in Jan 2017, 7 months.

Results were first posted in Jan 2024, 6 years 11 months after primary completion.

Of 568 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Health Behavior, half reached primary completion within 15 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 33. This study's 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 586 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 32.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 22, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
