Can a new scale unlock why people struggle to change habits?
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Questionnaire-based scale development and validation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a tool to better tailor prevention programs, potentially improving adoption of healthy habits and reducing chronic disease risk.
- What could go wrong
- The scale is in early development and validation, so it may not accurately predict lifestyle changes or may not generalize beyond the specific prevention programs studied.
