Caveats

This is a registry record with no results posted; outcomes and efficacy are not yet reported.
No control or comparator group is described; study design is single-arm.
Study recruitment status is NOT_YET_RECRUITING; enrollment has not begun.
Sample size justification, power calculation, and complete methodological details are not provided in the registry record.

Evidence assessment

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.

Study design

limited

Interventional behavioral study; no control group mentioned in registry record.

Directness

moderate

Primary outcomes are BMI, weight, waist circumference, and readiness for change scale.

Consistency

insufficient

No results reported; consistency cannot be assessed.

Risk of bias

insufficient

Registry record does not describe blinding, allocation concealment, or other bias mitigation.

Sample adequacy

limited

Planned enrollment 60 participants; no sample size justification stated.

What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.

Source abstract

Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07769736). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Istinye University. Recruitment status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 60 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Obesity & Overweight. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Motivational Interviewing. Primary outcome measures: Change in Body Mass Index (BMI) , Until the end of five motivational interviews that will take place over a three-month period; Change in Body Weight , Until the end of five motivational interviews that will take place over a three-month period; Change in Waist Circumference , Until the end of five motivational interviews that will take place over a three-month period; University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) Scale Score , Until the end of five motivational interviews that will take place over a three-month period. Brief summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a structured motivational interviewing program based on the Five-Step (5A) model works to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors in individuals at high risk of obesity. It will also learn about the effects on anthropometric measurements and physical activity levels. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does this structured program promote healthy lifestyle behaviors in individuals at high risk of obesity? * To what extent does it increase participants' intrinsic motivation and readiness for behavioral change? Participants will: * Attend structured interview sessions throughout the designated process * Visit the clinic at regular intervals for follow-up and evaluations * Record their lifestyle changes, physical activity levels, and experiences throughout the process
