CONSORT - EHEALTH Checklist

1b-i) Key features/functionalities/components of the intervention and comparator in the METHODS section of the ABSTRACT "The intervention website was founded on the theory of stages of change and planned behaviour and, apart from a forum page where a physiotherapist answered questions about PA and training, fully automated." 1b-ii) Level of human involvement in the METHODS section of the ABSTRACT "The intervention website was founded on the theory of stages of change and planned behaviour and, apart from a forum page where a physiotherapist answered questions about PA and training, fully automated." 1b-iii) Open vs. closed, web-based (self-assessment) vs. face-to-face assessments in the METHODS section of the ABSTRACT "Physically inactive adults (n=12,287) participating in a nationwide e-health survey and health examination in Denmark were randomly assigned to either intervention (website) (n=6,055) or a no-intervention control group (n=6,232) in 2008." "A subgroup of participants (n=1,190) was invited to a follow-up health examination at 3 months." Not possible to blind when the intervention is access to a web-site. 1b-iv) RESULTS section in abstract must contain use data Less than 25% of the participants logged-on to the website once and only 7% logged on frequently. No difference in PA level was found between the website and the control group at 3 and 6 months’ follow-up Reported in methods of abstract. "Physically inactive adults (n=12,287) participating in a nationwide e-health survey and health examination in Denmark were randomly assigned to either intervention (website) (n=6,055) or a no-intervention control group (n=6,232) in 2008." "A subgroup of participants (n=1,190) was invited to a follow-up health examination at 3 months." 1b-v) CONCLUSIONS/DISCUSSION in abstract for negative trials "Based on our findings, we suggest that active users of a web-based PA intervention can improve the level of PA. However, for unmotivated users, single-tailored feedback may be too brief. Future research should focus on developing more sophisticated interventions with potential to reach both motivated and unmotivated sedentary individuals."
