Study summary

It is important to adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors such as nutrition and physical activity in adolescence. Health literacy, which is the competence of adolescents to participate in their own health decisions and takes responsibility for health, needs to be developed. Developing healthy nutrition and physical activity behaviors with a focus on health literacy is important in terms of maintaining the desired behavior in adulthood. This study aims to examine the effects of health literacy-based motivational interviewing and health education on nutrition and exercise behaviors of adolescents. The research will be conducted with a single-blind randomized controlled experimental design. The population of the research consists of ninth-grade students. It is planned to include 72 people in the research sample according to the power analysis calculation. The research will be carried out with two intervention groups as motivational interview and health education and a control group.

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 Dec 2022 to primary completion in Jul 2023, 7 months.

Of 292 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Health Education, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 24. This study's 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 293 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 24.

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 Jul 8, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
