Effect of an online program based on the transtheoretical model to promote physical activity and healthy eating habits in adolescents.
Background: Promoting health at early ages favors long-term healthy habits and the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for educational purposes, and theoretical models of behavioral change such as the transtheoretical model (TTM) seem to improve behaviors related to physical activity (PA) and eating. The aim was to analyze the effect of an educational program implemented through ICTs on the PA level and food consumption frequency of Mexican adolescents considering the stages of change of adolescents and in general.
Material and methods: A 22-week randomized controlled trial was conducted in 175 adolescents of both sexes. Two groups received an educational intervention with different approaches: (1) according to the stage of change (EGC) and (2) in a general way (EGG). PA level, food consumption frequency, and stage of change were evaluated before, during, and after the intervention. A three-factor analysis of variance test was performed to know the differences of all variables, between groups and measurements. The effect size was determined using partial Eta squared.
Results: EGC increased the frequency of food recommended for daily consumption toward the middle of the intervention and decreased the intake of boxed cereals, sweet food, and pastries at the end of the intervention. Although not significantly, EGC showed an upward trend in the level of PA and a downward trend on the intake of food not recommended for daily consumption.
Conclusion: An online program based on TTM to promote PA and healthy eating habits on adolescents is effective when the stage of current behavior change is considered.
