Theory-based Interventions for Smoking and Obesity (Challenge) Trial Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for qualified medical advice, visits or professional assistance by using a real mD. We are not docs. Always confer with your physician about Theory-based Interventions for Smoking and Obesity (Challenge) Trial conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Theory-based Interventions for Smoking and Obesity (Challenge) Trial Clinical research trials and Theory-based Interventions for Smoking and Obesity (Challenge) Trial health trials occur in many of cities throughout the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally evaluate the effectivity of new does drugs. The intent of the studies / undertakings is to resolve particular human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to detect remedies for all sorts of conditions, including Theory-based Interventions for Smoking and Obesity (Challenge) Trial. Theory-based Interventions for Smoking and Obesity (Challenge) Trial Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Most times the participants undergo professional assistance for without cost, and occasionally they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Theory-based Interventions for Smoking and Obesity (Challenge) Trial clinical trial. Test subjects typically receive the most expert healthcare available for their Theory-based Interventions for Smoking and Obesity (Challenge) Trial condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include more or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Theory-based Interventions for Smoking and Obesity (Challenge) Trial
For Condition: Smoking,Obesity
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) ,
Synopsis: The purpose of this study is to examine a new theory for understanding the processes that govern behavior change by observing how people’s beliefs and feelings about smoking cessation or weight loss change as they participate in smoking cessation or weight control programs. This study also seeks to improve the ability of treatment programs to help people maintain changes in their behavior.
Details: The goal of this clinical trial is to examine a new theory for understanding the processes that govern short-term versus long-term behavior change. The study will examine how people’s beliefs and feelings about smoking cessation or weight loss change as they participate in either a smoking cessation program or a weight control program. Also, the study will improve the ability of treatment programs to help people maintain changes in their behavior. The project involves a series of two parallel investigations. Study 1 tests the hypothesis that intervention methods that influence cost/benefit expectations related to quitting smoking and losing weight will have different effects on long-term smoking cessation and weight loss. The participants are randomly selected to treatment programs that induce heightened or realistic outcome expectations. Study 2 tests the hypothesis that intervention methods that influence perceived satisfaction with behavior change will have different effects on long-term smoking cessation and weight loss. The participants are randomly selected to treatment programs that induce them to evaluate the consequences of behavior change either in comparison to past or ideal outcomes. All of the intervention programs used in these studies are based on highly effective treatment procedures. The programs differ in how information about weight loss and smoking cessation is presented, how the participants are encouraged to think about their achievements during the treatment programs, and how much help is given to the participants in organizing their thoughts during the programs.
Eligibility:
Study Type: Interventional, Treatment, Randomized
Minimum Age/Maximum Age: 18 Years/60 Years
Genders: Both
Protocol Entry Criteria: Eligibility criteria for the smoking cessation studies were: between 18 and 60 years old, a minimum 2-year history of smoking, a current level of smoking > 10 cigarettes per day, and agreement to participate in the study. Eligibility requirements for the weight loss studies were: between 18 and 60 years old, body mass index (weight/height2) > 27.0, 20 percent or more above desirable weight according to medical standards, and consent to participate. Smokers and overweight persons were excluded if currently being treated by a physician for a serious physical or psychological disorder (e.g., heart disease, cancer, depression). Women were excluded if currently pregnant, pregnant in the last 6 months, or intending to become pregnant in the next 18 months. People who were overweight and who also smoked were considered eligible for participation in either weight loss or smoking cessation programs. However, they received treatment only for the particular behavior problem targeted by the study they chose to participate in.
