The PROFRUVE study is a controlled intervention based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), which follows those behavioral theories that have proved to be the most effective at changing infant fruit and vegetable (FV) intake pattern. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention program in increasing FV consumption in schoolchildren aged 8 to 10 and based on TPB.
Eligible classrooms within schools from Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country, Spain) will be randomly assigned to the intervention (classrooms n = 4; children n = 86) or control (classrooms n = 4; children n = 86) group. The intervention group will receive 14 sessions of 60 min during an academic year (October to June). These sessions, designed by a multidisciplinary team, are based on TPB and are directed at modifying determinants of behavior (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and intention of consumption), and intake of FV itself. Both the process and the evolution of consumption and determinants of behavior will be evaluated (before, during, shortly after and a year after) using validated surveys, 7 day food records, 24 h reminders and questionnaires.
This study will provide a valid and useful tool to achieve changes in the consumption of FV at school level. A negative result will be helpful in redefining new strategies in the framework of changing habits in the consumption of FV.
This study has been retrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov. Identifier: NCT03400891 . Data registered: 17/01/2018.
PROFRUVE 研究是一项基于计划行为理论（TPB）的对照干预研究，该理论遵循那些已被证明在改变婴儿水果和蔬菜（FV）摄入模式方面最有效的行为理论。该研究的主要目的是评估一项干预计划在增加 8 至 10 岁学童 FV 摄入量方面的有效性，该计划基于 TPB。
将维多利亚-加斯泰兹（西班牙巴斯克地区）的学校内符合条件的班级随机分配到干预组（班级 n=4；儿童 n=86）或对照组（班级 n=4；儿童 n=86）。干预组将在一个学年（10 月至 6 月）期间接受 14 次 60 分钟的课程。这些课程由一个多学科团队设计，基于 TPB，旨在改变行为决定因素（态度、主观规范、感知行为控制和消费意愿），以及 FV 的摄入量本身。使用经过验证的调查、7 天食物记录、24 小时提醒和问卷，在干预前、期间、短期后和一年后评估消费和行为决定因素的过程和演变。
这项研究将提供一个有效的、有用的工具，以在学校层面实现 FV 消费的改变。如果结果为负，将有助于在改变 FV 消费习惯的框架内重新定义新的策略。
本研究已在 ClinicalTrials.gov 进行回顾性注册。标识符：NCT03400891。数据注册日期：2018 年 1 月 17 日。
