The Modification of Diet, Exercise and Lifestyle (MODEL) study aims to examine the impact of providing visualisation and pictorial representation of advanced structural vascular disease (abdominal aortic calcification), on 'healthful' improvements to diet and lifestyle. This paper reports the protocol for the process evaluation for the MODEL study.
The overall aim of the process evaluation is to understand the processes that took place during participation in the MODEL study trial and which elements were effective or ineffective for influencing 'healthful' behavioural change, and possible ways of improvement to inform wider implementation strategies. A mixed-method approach will be employed with the use of structured questionnaires and semistructured in-depth interviews. All 200 participants enrolled in the trial will undertake the quantitative component of the study and maximum variation sampling will be used to select a subsample for the qualitative component. The sample size for the qualitative component will be determined based on analytical saturation. Interviews will be digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative data will be analysed thematically and reported according to the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) guidelines.
The MODEL study process evaluation has received approval from Edith Cowan University Human Research Ethics Committee (Project Number: 20513 HODGSON). Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants before they are included in the study. The study results will be shared with the individuals and institutions associated with this study as well as academic audiences through peer-reviewed publication and probable presentation at conferences.

饮食、运动和生活方式改良(MODEL)研究旨在探讨提供可视化和图像化的高级结构性血管疾病(腹部主动脉钙化)对改善“健康”饮食和生活方式的影响。本文报告了 MODEL 研究的过程评估方案。
该过程评估的总体目标是了解参与者在 MODEL 研究试验中所经历的过程,以及哪些因素对影响“健康”行为改变是有效或无效的,并为更广泛的实施策略提供改进的可能途径。将采用混合方法,使用结构化问卷和半结构化深入访谈。所有 200 名参加试验的参与者将进行研究的定量部分,最大变化抽样将用于定性部分的抽样。定性部分的样本量将根据分析饱和度确定。访谈将进行数字记录并逐字转录。定性数据将根据主题进行分析,并根据《定性研究报告的统一标准》(COREQ)指南进行报告。
MODEL 研究过程评估已获得埃迪斯科文大学人类研究伦理委员会的批准(项目编号:20513 HODGSON)。在参与者被纳入研究之前,将获得他们的书面知情同意。研究结果将与该研究相关的个人和机构以及学术受众分享,通过同行评审的出版物和可能在会议上的演讲。
