About this trial

To examine the efficacy of a Transtheoretical Model (TTM)-based intervention in improving weight management behaviors.

1. To identify if the student age, body mass index (BMI) and socioeconomic status can predict WMB. 2. To investigate the difference in students' WMB between groups of grade, liven arrangement, socioeconomic class, and BMI.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Change in Weight Management Behavior Scores Measured by TTM-Based Questionnaires

Change in Weight Management Behavior Scores Measured by TTM-Based Questionnaires: Weight Control Decisional Balance Scale (WCDBS): 20-item scale with scores ranging from -40 to +40. Higher positive scores indicate more favorable attitudes toward healthy weight management behaviors. Weight Control Processes of Change Scale (WCPOCS): 48-item scale with scores ranging from 48 to 240. Higher scores indicate greater engagement in healthy weight management behavior change processes. Stages of Change for Weight Control Scale (SCWCS): categorizes participants into precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance stages. Higher stages indicate greater readiness for healthy weight management behavior change. The outcome will be reported as mean score changes and stage distribution differences between intervention and control groups.
