Globally, the poor activity level of adolescent girls is a public health concern. Little research has involved adolescents in the design of interventions. This study assessed the feasibility of involving girls in the co-creation of an activity programme.
Thirty-one students (15-17 years old) were recruited from a post-primary school. The Behaviour Change Wheel guided intervention design, providing insights into participants' capability, opportunity and motivation for change. Step counts and self-reported physical activity levels were recorded pre- and post-intervention. Feasibility benchmarks assessed recruitment, data collection, acceptability and adherence.
Activity and educational sessions were delivered for six weeks during physical education class. Average attendance was 87% (benchmark = 80%). Eligibility was 61% (benchmark = 60%). There was a 100% retention rate (benchmark = 90%). All participants ( = 31) completed baseline measures and 71% ( = 22) completed post-measures. 54% ( = 17) of students completed pedometer measurements, with 32% ( = 10) having complete data. Average daily steps were 13,121 pre-intervention and 14,128 post-intervention ( > 0.05). Data collection was feasible, receiving a mean score > 4/5 (benchmark > 3.5/5).
The Behaviour Change Wheel can be used to co-create an activity programme with adolescent girls. Predetermined benchmarks, except for pedometer recordings, were reached or exceeded, providing evidence for the need of a randomised controlled trial to test effectiveness.
在全球范围内，少女的活动水平低是一个公共卫生关注的问题。很少有研究涉及青少年在干预措施设计中的参与。本研究评估了让女孩共同参与活动计划的设计的可行性。
从一所中学招募了 31 名学生（15-17 岁）。行为改变车轮指导干预设计，深入了解参与者的改变能力、机会和动机。在干预前后记录了步数和自我报告的身体活动水平。可行性基准评估了招募、数据收集、可接受性和依从性。
在体育课期间进行了六周的活动和教育课程。平均出勤率为 87%（基准=80%）。符合条件的比例为 61%（基准=60%）。保留率为 100%（基准=90%）。所有参与者（n=31）均完成了基线测量，71%（n=22）完成了随访测量。54%（n=17）的学生完成了计步器测量，其中 32%（n=10）有完整的数据。干预前平均每日步数为 13121 步，干预后为 14128 步（>0.05）。数据收集是可行的，平均得分>4/5（基准>3.5/5）。
行为改变车轮可用于与少女共同设计活动计划。除计步器记录外，所有预定的基准都达到或超过，为需要进行随机对照试验以测试有效性提供了证据。
