Promoting fruit and vegetable consumption: Methodological protocol of a randomized controlled community trial

Abstract: This study aimed to develop community educational activities in Brazilian primary health care settings. A randomized controlled community trial was conducted to encourage fruit and vegetable consumption (FV-RCT) in a representative sample of consumers aged 20 years or older in a Brazilian city. The fruit and vegetable consumption was classified according to the transtheoretical model's stages of change, reflecting different degrees of readiness for change. The educational activities were based on the transtheo… Show more

“…A cursory search for articles in Web of Science [v.5.30], from the year 1900 to September 2018, using the search terms "transtheoretical model" AND "stage of change" resulted in 1,394 articles, 45 published in 2018. From these 45, it was evident the TTM continues to be applied to a range of issues, such as fruit and vegetable consumption (Menezes,5 De, Mendonça, Ferreira, Guimarães, & Lopes, 2018) and the cessation of drug use (Lee, Wu, Chen, & Chang, 2018). Operationalizations of the TTM to academic performance A current trend in TTM research is the development and testing of instruments applied to specific behaviors, most often health-related.…”

“…This model is widely used for health education interventions, such as physical activity [7], fruit and vegetable consumption [8] and weight control [9], and it has been associated with positive results. Some positive aspects of using the TTM include its low-cost, its adaptability to a number of problems [7], and the fact that the intervention can be tailored for participants according to their level of readiness for change [6].…”
