Official title
Efficacy of the Transtheoretical Model of Change-Based Intervention on Weight Management Behavior Among High School Female Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
To examine the efficacy of a Transtheoretical Model (TTM)-based intervention in improving weight management behaviors. 1. To identify if the student age, body mass index (BMI) and socioeconomic status can predict WMB. 2. To investigate the difference in students' WMB between groups of grade, liven arrangement, socioeconomic class, and BMI.
Detailed description
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of a Transtheoretical Model (TTM)-based behavioral intervention in improving weight management behaviors among high school female students. The intervention is designed to guide participants through the stages of behavior change, enhancing their readiness to adopt and maintain healthy lifestyle practices such as balanced nutrition, physical activity, and weight control behaviors. The study will compare outcomes between an intervention group receiving structured TTM-based sessions and a control group receiving standard health education. Primary outcomes will focus on changes in weight management behaviors, while secondary outcomes may include changes in stage of readiness for change, self-efficacy, and health-related attitudes. The findings are expected to provide evidence on the effectiveness of stage-based behavioral interventions in promoting healthy weight management among adolescent females.
Interventions
- Behavioral Transtheoretical Model (TTM)-Based Behavioral Intervention for Weight Management
This is a non-pharmacological, behavioral intervention designed to improve weight management behaviors among high school female students. It is based on the Transtheoretical Model of behavior change and consists of structured, stage-matched educational and counseling sessions. The intervention includes guidance on healthy dietary practices, promotion of regular physical activity, goal setting, self-monitoring techniques, and motivational strategies tailored to each participant's readiness to cha
