is a one-of-a-kind health promotion intervention that focuses on chronic disease prevention behaviors through peer support and social support network development. The goal of the study was to see how effective was in a city setting in India.
From July 2018 to July 2019, we used a mixed-methods intervention research design including many sites. At 0, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 months, data were collected using participant surveys and in-person interviews. Throughout the research period, participants met in groups at least once a month to self-monitor health indicators, prepare and share a healthy snack, engage in physical activity, create a healthy lifestyle goal, and socialize. Data were analyzed using a paired -test, and inferences were drawn thereof.
There were statistically significant improvements in the majority of the domains of health from pre- to post-program, and 59% of participants reported specific behavioral changes as a result of their participation in the . Peer support, obtaining particular health knowledge, inspiration, motivation, or accountability, the empowering effect of monitoring one's own health indicators, overcoming social isolation, and knowing how to better access resources were all positive health outcomes. The mean knowledge scores for diabetes, hypertension, and nutrition in the first survey were 20.3 ± 2.1 and 5.2 ± 1.9 and in the last survey were 22.6 ± 3.1 ( < 0.05), 5.8 ± 2.4 (<.05), and 44.3 ± 3.9 (<0.001) after the intervention, respectively.
The necessity to find novel approaches to chronic illness prevention and management drove the implementation and evaluation of . While more research is needed to confirm the current findings, it looks like could be a useful tool for empowering community members to support one another while promoting healthy lifestyle choices and recognizing early changes.Clinical Trial Registry of India: CTRI/2019/01/017028 (registered on 10/01/2019).
是一种独一无二的健康促进干预措施，通过同伴支持和社会支持网络发展来关注慢性病预防行为。该研究的目的是了解其在印度城市环境中的效果如何。
2018年7月至2019年7月，我们采用了包括多个地点的混合方法干预研究设计。在第0、2、3、5、7、9和12个月，通过参与者调查和面对面访谈收集数据。在整个研究期间，参与者每月至少分组会面一次，以自我监测健康指标、准备和分享健康小吃、进行体育活动、制定健康生活方式目标并进行社交。使用配对t检验分析数据，并据此得出推论。
从项目前到项目后，大多数健康领域都有统计学上的显著改善，59%的参与者报告称由于参与该项目而有了特定的行为改变。同伴支持、获得特定的健康知识、灵感、动力或责任感、自我监测健康指标的赋能作用、克服社会孤立以及知道如何更好地获取资源都是积极的健康成果。第一次调查中糖尿病、高血压和营养方面的平均知识得分分别为20.3±2.1、5.2±1.9，干预后最后一次调查中的得分分别为22.6±3.1（P<0.05）、5.8±2.4（P<.05）和44.3±3.9（P<0.001）。
寻找慢性病预防和管理新方法的必要性推动了该项目的实施和评估。虽然需要更多研究来证实当前的发现，但看起来该项目可能是一个有用的工具，可使社区成员相互支持，同时促进健康生活方式的选择并识别早期变化。印度临床试验注册中心：CTRI/2019/01/017028（于2019年1月10日注册）。
