Public title Trial of efficacy of a family based programme to increase physical activity among individuals at high risk of diabetes
Scientific title
Acronym ProActive Trial
Serial number at source G0000753
Study hypothesis 1. Behaviour change: to estimate the extent to which an innovative approach to increasing physical activity can achieve clinically important changes in a high risk group
2. Disease impact: to model the potential for this behaviour change to reduce the incidence of obesity and diabetes in later life
3. Dose finding: to estimate the effect of delivery of the intervention at two levels of intensity on acceptability, efficacy and costs
