Scientific titleHealth promotion in community residences for people with intellectual disabilities: A randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesThe overall aim is to develop and evaluate the effects of a health education programme directed at both staff and residents in community residences for people with intellectual disabilities. Specific objectives are to study improvements in work routines and environment and to study individual effects on dietary and physical activity habits, BMI, waist circumference and quality of life due to the intervention.
Ethics approval(s)The study was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board in Stockholm on the 17th of September 2009 (ref: 2009/1332)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPrevention of obesity and chronic diseases related to diet and physical activity among adult people with intellectual disabilities
Intervention32 community residences are selected in Stockholm county and randomised to intervention (n=16) and control (n=16) residences. The intervention group takes part in a health programme including three main components, which will be implemented during 12 months:
1. A health education activity including diet and physical activity targeting residents in community residences. The activity consists of ten sessions which will be carried out in the residences by an external educator.
2. A health ambassador will be appointed among staff members in each residence. The health ambassador will be responsible for health issues and will receive coaching by the project team.
3. The staff in every community residence will come together in 10 sessions to discuss health issues. A discussion leader will be appointed and the group will meet to discuss ten different themes on the basis of a programme material developed specifically for this project.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measurePhysical activity will be assessed by pedometry for seven consecutive days. The data will be collected before and after intervention. Parametric and non-parametric tests will be used to compare groups at baseline. Multilevel analysis will be used to evaluate the effects of the intervention outcomes.
Two levels are defined in the analysis:
1. resident
2. residential setting
Linear and logistic regression models will be used to study the effects on the outcome variables.
Secondary outcome measures1. BMI and waist circumference will be measured by the research team
2. Dietary habits will be assessed by use of digital photography taken by residents for three days
3. Quality of life will be assessed by a structured interview
The analysis will be carried out as for the primary outcome.
