Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic evaluation of community-based participatory research (CBPR) interventions on diabetes outcomes. Understanding of effective CBPR interventions on diabetes outcomes is limited, and findings remain unclear. METHODS A reproducible search strategy was used to identify studies testing CBPR interventions to improve diabetes outcomes, including A1C, fasting glucose, blood pressure, lipids, and quality of life. Pubmed, PsychInfo, and CINAHL were searched for articles published between 2010 and 2020. Using a CBPR continuum framework, studies were classified based on outreach, consulting, involving, collaborating, and shared leadership. RESULTS A total of 172 were screened, and a title search was conducted to determine eligibility. A total of 16 articles were included for synthesis. Twelve out of the 16 studies using CBPR approaches for diabetes interventions demonstrated statistically significant differences in 1 or more diabetes outcomes measured at a postintervention time point. Studies across the spectrum of CBPR demonstrated statistically significant improvements in diabetes outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Of the 16 studies included for synthesis, 14 demonstrated statistically significant changes in A1C, fasting glucose, blood pressure, lipids, and quality of life. The majority of studies used community health workers (CHWs) to deliver interventions across group and individual settings and demonstrated significant reductions in diabetes outcomes. The evidence summarized in this review shows the pivotal role that CHWs and diabetes care and education specialists play in not only intervention delivery but also in the development of outward-facing diabetes care approaches that are person- and community-centered.

The association between the receipt of primary care clinician provision of preventive care and short term health behaviour change. Prev Med 2019; 123:308-315. [PMID: 30930261 DOI: 10.1016/j.ypmed.2019.03.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2018] [Revised: 02/25/2019] [Accepted: 03/28/2019] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Primary healthcare services are recommended to provide preventive care to address chronic disease risk behaviours. However, all care elements are infrequently provided, and there is a need to understand the impact of partial care provision on behaviour change. This study examined the association between variable levels of preventive care receipt from primary care clinicians on short-term behaviour change for four risk behaviours. A survey was undertaken with 5639 Australian community health service clients (2009-2014). Clients self-reported: engagement in risk behaviours (tobacco smoking, harmful alcohol consumption, inadequate fruit and/or vegetable consumption, physical inactivity) in the month prior to and four week post their community health service appointment; receipt of preventive care during appointments (assessment, advice, referral/follow-up) for each behaviour. Univariate regression models explored the association between change in risk status and preventive care received. The odds of behaviour change for those receiving all three care elements was significant for all behaviours, compared to no care, ranging from 2.02 (alcohol consumption, 95% CI 1.16-3.49) to 4.17 (inadequate fruit and/or vegetable consumption, 95% CI 2.91-5.96). Receipt of both assessment and advice increased the odds of behaviour change, compared to no care, for all behaviours except smoking, ranging from 2.32 (physical inactivity, 95% CI 1.60-3.35) to 2.83 (alcohol consumption, 95% CI 1.84-4.33). Receipt of 'assessment only' increased the odds of behaviour change, compared to no care, for inadequate fruit and/or vegetable consumption (OR = 2.40, 95% CI 1.60-3.59) and physical inactivity (OR = 2.81, 95% CI 1.89-4.17). Results highlight the importance of primary care clinicians providing best practice preventive care to maximise client behaviour change.

Abstract
The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Singapore is lower than in most countries, but it is increasing. There is evidence health complications may appear at lower weights among Asians. We describe the evolution of a national weight management program [Lose To Win (LTW)] organized by the Singapore Health Promotion Board from 2009 to 2013. LTW is a 12-week program comprising nutrition education, physical activity and mental wellbeing sessions and interim assessments. Individuals aged 18-69 years with a body mass index (BMI) between 23 and 37.4 kg/m2 were included. Primary outcomes were change in weight and BMI from baseline to end of 12-weeks. Effectiveness of the weight loss program was assessed using non-randomized control group (delayed intervention) during LTW 2010 and 2012. LTW 2009 enrolled 285 participants from 72 worksites. LTW 2010, expanded to the community, enrolling 952 participants (641 community-based and 311 workplace-based). In LTW 2012 and 2013, 959 and 1412 participants, respectively, were recruited from the community only. Completion rates of the 12-week program varied from 49 to 88%. Average weight loss ranged from 1.3 to 3.6 kg. For rounds including a control group, weight loss was higher in the intervention than in the control group. Competition and incentives were important motivators for participation. The LTW program was well-received and effective in producing short-term weight loss. Enhancements will be done to reinforce success factors in subsequent rounds to boost participation and follow-up rates and to ensure long-term sustainability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) counselling is challenging in primary care. It is unknown whether clinician training on the 5As (Ask, Advise, Agree, Assist, Arrange) improves PA counselling skills. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of a clinician training intervention on PA counselling for underserved adults using the 5As framework. METHODS Pragmatic pilot clinical trial was used in the study. Clinicians (n = 13) were randomly assigned to two groups. Each group received the intervention consisting of four 1-hour training sessions to teach the 5As for PA counselling. Patient-clinician visits (n = 325) were audio recorded at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 6 months. Outcomes were the frequency and quality of PA discussions using the 5As, assessed by blinded coders. RESULTS Patients' mean age was 44 years; 75% were African American. PA was discussed in 37% (n = 119) of visits overall and did not change from baseline to follow-up. When PA discussions occurred, the frequency of 5As increased from baseline to follow-up for Advise (51-54%), Agree (11-26%), and Assist (11-17%); however, none of the 5As had a statistically significant increase. For Agree, exploration of patient willingness to engage in PA increased from 23% at baseline to 50% at follow-up. CONCLUSION A clinician-directed intervention to improve PA counselling increased the frequency of Advise, Agree and Assist, and the quality of Ask and Agree statements, though the absolute numbers were small and only Agree reached statistical significance. Future research is needed to understand the factors that affect the optimal uptake and approach to 5As counselling.

Abstract
Introduction Limited time and lack of knowledge are barriers to physical activity counseling in primary care. The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a clinician-targeted intervention that used the 5As (Ask, Advise, Agree, Assist, Arrange) approach to physical activity counseling in a medically underserved patient population. Methods Family medicine clinicians at 2 community health centers were randomized to Group 1 or Group 2 intervention. Both clinician groups participated in 4 training sessions on the 5As for physical activity counseling; Group 2 training took place 8 months after Group 1 training. Both groups were trained to refer patients to a community exercise program. We used a pre–post analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention on clinician use of 5As. Eligible patients (n = 319) rated their clinicians’ counseling skills by using a modified Physical Activity Exit Interview (PAEI) survey. Clinicians (n = 10) self-assessed their use of the 5As through a survey and interviews. Results Both patient and clinician groups had similar sociodemographic characteristics. The PAEI score for both groups combined increased from 6.9 to 8.6 (on a scale of 0–15) from baseline to immediately postintervention (P = .01) and was 8.2 (P = .09) at 6-month follow-up; most of the improvement in PAEI score was due to increased use of 5As skills by Group 2 clinicians. Group 1 reported difficulty with problem solving, whereas Group 2 reported ease of referral to the community exercise program. Conclusion A clinician training intervention showed mixed results for 5As physical activity counseling.

Psychological benefits of weight loss following behavioural and/or dietary weight loss interventions. A systematic research review. Appetite 2013; 72:123-37.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that weight loss has significant physiological benefits, such as reduced risk of diabetes, lowered blood pressure and blood lipid levels. However, few behavioural and dietary interventions have investigated psychological benefit as the primary outcome. Hence, systematic review methodology was adopted to evaluate the psychological outcomes of weight loss following participation in a behavioural and/or dietary weight loss intervention in overweight/obese populations. 36 Studies were selected for inclusion and were reviewed. Changes in self-esteem, depressive symptoms, body image and health related quality of life (HRQoL) were evaluated and discussed. Where possible, effect sizes to indicate the magnitude of change pre- to post- intervention were calculated using Hedges' g standardised mean difference. The results demonstrated consistent improvements in psychological outcomes concurrent with and sometimes without weight loss. Improvements in body image and HRQoL (especially vitality) were closely related to changes in weight. Calculated effect sizes varied considerably and reflected the heterogeneous nature of the studies included in the review. Although the quality of the studies reviewed was generally acceptable, only 9 out of 36 studies included a suitable control/comparison group and the content, duration of intervention and measures used to assess psychological outcomes varied considerably. Further research is required to improve the quality of studies assessing the benefits of weight loss to fully elucidate the relationship between weight loss and psychological outcomes.
