| Abstract |
BACKGROUND: Despite the favorable effects of behavior change interventions on diabetes risk, lifestyle modification is a complicated process. In this study we therefore investigated opportunities for refining a lifestyle intervention for type 2 diabetes prevention, based on participant perceptions of behavior change progress. METHODS: A 30 month intervention was performed in Dutch primary care among high-risk individuals (FINDRISC-score >= 13) and was compared to usual care. Participant perceptions of behavior change progress for losing weight, dietary modification, and increasing physical activity were assessed after18 months with questionnaires. Based on the response, participants were categorized as 'planners', 'initiators' or 'achievers' and frequencies were evaluated in both study groups. Furthermore, participants reported on barriers for lifestyle change. RESULTS: In both groups, around 80% of all participants (intervention: N = 370; usual care: N = 322) planned change. Except for reducing fat intake (p = 0.08), the number of initiators was significantly higher in the intervention group than in usual care. The percentage of achievers was high for the dietary and exercise objectives (intervention: 81--95%; usual care: 83--93%), but was lower for losing weight (intervention: 67%; usual care: 62%). Important motivational barriers were 'I already meet the standards' and 'I'm satisfied with my current behavior'. Temptation to snack, product taste and lack of time were important volitional barriers. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the intervention supports participants to bridge the gap between motivation and action. Several opportunities for intervention refinement are however revealed, including more stringent criteria for participant inclusion, tools for (self)-monitoring of health, emphasis on the 'small-step-approach', and more attention for stimulus control.Trial registrationNetherlands Trial Register: NTR1082. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 June 2013.
All research outputs
#20,653,708
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from BMC Primary Care
#1,953
of 2,359 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#159,690
of 209,830 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Primary Care
#37
of 44 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,359 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.7. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 209,830 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 44 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
