Sponsored by University of Mississippi, Oxford · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
Examine the utility of the Transtheoretical Model in influencing anxiety among college students. Employ a randomized controlled intervention including a static and dynamic Facebook intervention. The static group accessed a Facebook page featuring 96 statuses. Statuses were intended to engage cognitive processes, followed by behavioral processes of change per the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change. Content posted on the static Facebook page was identical to the dynamic page. However, the static group viewed all 96 statuses on the first day of the study, while the dynamic group received only 1-2 of these status updates per day throughout the intervention. Anxiety was measured using the Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale (OASIS). Time spent engaging in physical activity was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).
9,798 studies on the registry are indexed under Motor Activity; 1,910 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 39 is below the median of 60 across 8,388 interventional studies indexed under Motor Activity.

Ran from Oct 2016 to primary completion in Aug 2017, 10 months.
Of 5,147 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Motor Activity, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36. This study's 10 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 5,207 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36.
