Scientific title | Preventing disease through opportunistic, Rapid EngagEMent by Primary care Teams using behaviour change counselling |
Study acronym | PRE-EMPT |
Study objectives | There are three main aims: 1. To determine whether exposing clinicians to blended learning of Behaviour Change Counselling (BCC) leads to patients making more positive changes regarding smoking, risky drinking, physical activity and unhealthy eating, and at what cost? 2. To examine if patients consulting with clinicians exposed to blended learning of Behaviour Change Counselling recall behavioural interventions more often and find them more acceptable and do they state that they intend to change more often? 3. To explore if clinicians exposed to blended learning of BCC feel more efficacious in advising on behaviour change, and committed to behaviour change counselling? |
Ethics approval(s) | Multi-centre Research Ethics Committee (MREC) for Wales, 09/05/2007, ref: 07/MRE09/11 |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Behaviour change counselling in patients with unhealthy lifestyles |
Intervention | Clinicians in the experimental group will receive training in Behaviour Change Counselling, using a blended learning, multi-method approach including on-line learning and face to face seminar sessions. Clinicians will then use this when interacting with patients around health behaviour change. The comparison group will provide usual care with the offer of training after the study period. |
Intervention type | Behavioural |
Primary outcome measure | Proportion of patients showing important positive change in one or more of the four behaviours (smoking, alcohol use, exercise and healthy eating) at three months |
