NCT ID NCT07765797
First seen Aug 14, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026
Summary
This study aims to develop and validate a questionnaire called the ProChange scale, designed to measure the barriers and facilitators to lifestyle changes in people at risk for chronic diseases. The scale will be tested in adults aged 45 and older who receive prevention advice on nutrition or physical activity through specific programs. The goal is to create a tool that helps tailor prevention interventions to individual needs, potentially improving the effectiveness of lifestyle change programs.
