\u00ab\u00a0Our aim was to investigate the response of participants in different Stage of Change (SOC) groups to an intervention to increase fruit and vegetable consumption. Participants recruited from a primary-care health centre were entered into a trial investigating an intervention to increase fruit and vegetable consumption. A total of 729 men and women were randomized into intervention and control groups. Participants attended two appointments 6 months apart and completed postal questionnaires before each appointment. The questionnaire included SOC questions which were used to classify participants into ‘pre-contemplation’, ‘contemplation’ and ‘action’ groups at baseline and at follow-up. All intervention participants received a standard intervention to increase consumption of fruit and vegetables to at least five portions per day. After 6 months at the end of the trial control participants received the same intervention. The main outcome measures were the changes in plasma concentrations of antioxidant vitamins. Changes in self-reported fruit and vegetable intake were a secondary outcome measure. At baseline, 38% (113\/297) of the intervention participants were described as being in the ‘pre-contemplation’ stage, 35% in ‘contemplation’ and 27% in ‘action’ groups. For control participants, 36% (112\/310) were in ‘pre-contemplation’, 34% in ‘contemplation’ and 30% in ‘action’ groups. In the intervention groups, 50% (57\/113) of ‘pre-contemplators’ moved to the ‘action’ stage and 37% (42\/113) moved to ‘contemplation’. There was little movement in the control ‘SOC’ groups between baseline and follow-up, other than a small drift to ‘contemplation’. Overall, the intervention group reported a greater increase in fruit and vegetable consumption than the controls (mean difference in change of 1.4 daily portions; 95% confidence interval 1.2, 1.6; after adjustment for baseline intake and gender) and significantly greater changes were reported in all three intervention ‘SOC’ groups compared to the corresponding ‘control’ groups (P < 0.001 in each case). These results suggest that peoples' SOC may have little bearing on their success in increasing fruit and vegetable consumption."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-53717","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Division of Public Health and Primary Health Care, University of Oxford, Institute of HeOX3alth Sciences, Old Road, Headington, Oxford OX3 7LF, UK.","annee":"2003","mois":"8","numero":"18:4","page":"429-438","auteurs":[{"ID":40445,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 02:14:31","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 01:14:31","post_content":"","post_title":"John","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"john","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 02:14:31","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 01:14:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/john\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":53715,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 06:24:03","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 05:24:03","post_content":"","post_title":"Ziebland","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"ziebland","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 06:24:03","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 05:24:03","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/ziebland\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":52362,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 06:01:33","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 05:01:33","post_content":"","post_title":"Neil","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"neil","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 06:01:33","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 05:01:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/neil\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":53716,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-04 06:24:04","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-04 05:24:04","post_content":"","post_title":"Yudkin","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"yudkin-2","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-04 06:24:04","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-04 05:24:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/yudkin-2\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":29430,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 23:18:48","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 22:18:48","post_content":"","post_title":"HEALTH EDUCATION AND BEHAVIOR","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"health-education-and-behavior","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 23:18:48","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 22:18:48","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/health-education-and-behavior\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
