About this study

Official title: A Group Intervention for Promoting Health-related Habits in Individuals With Disabilities (LEV-G)

Health-related habits influences mental and physical health. Still, treatment of health-related habits, which can help to remedy health problems, is often not done at all or very superficially. Multiple guidelines emphasize the importance of prioritizing health-related habits, but there is a lack of implemented models. To solve this, the investigators have developed a transdiagnostic, interprofessional material intended for several care settings. The Lev-g intervention is intended for groups. There is also an individual version of Lev that has its on registration in Clinical Trails.

Read the detailed description

Lev is a brief, transdiagnostic, interprofessional intervention targeting health-related habits that is intended for several care settings. The main population intended is individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders or parents or close relations to children with disabilities. This study will therefore be open for participants recruited from several types of healthcare services in Sweden.

Study 1: The feasibility trial investigates the following questions:

Completion: How many participants that started Lev completed the intervention? What were the reasons for not not completing Lev? How many sessions did the participants complete? Lev includes screening (Lev-s), three sessions + one booster session.

Level of acceptability: Was Lev perceived as creditable and satisfactory by healthcare workers and participants? Treatment credibility will be measured before Lev and after the last session for both participants and healthcare workers. Treatment satisfaction will be evaluated after each session and after the intervention is completed. Session evaluations will be done by both participants and healthcare workers.

Do the intervention lead to adverse events? To what extent were individual goals met?

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  9. Open answer questions regarding Treatment satisfaction measured by The Evaluation Questionnaire for participants

    The treatment satisfaction questionnaire also included open questions that will be analyses using a qualitative thematic approach including the following questions:

    I feel that participating in Lev helped me in these ways How could the Lev have been better? What could I have done differently myself? Is there anything else you would like to add? A qualitative, thematic analysis will be performed to identify more general themes. There is not a template or scale to extract the themes. One rater suggest categories based on the similarity of answers. Another rater organizes the answers in the suggested themes. To be considered a theme, there must be over 85% similarity between raters.
