Overview
Health-related habits influences mental and physical health. Still, treatment of health-related habits, which can help to remedy health problems, is often not done at all or very superficially. Multiple guidelines emphasize the importance of prioritizing health-related habits, but there is a lack of implemented models. To solve this, the investigators have developed a transdiagnostic, interprofessional material intended for several care settings. The Lev-g intervention is intended for groups. There is also an individual version of Lev that has its on registration in Clinical Trails.
Description
Lev is a brief, transdiagnostic, interprofessional intervention targeting health-related habits that is intended for several care settings. The main population intended is individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders or parents or close relations to children with disabilities. This study will therefore be open for participants recruited from several types of healthcare services in Sweden.
Study 1: The feasibility trial investigates the following questions:
Completion: How many participants that started Lev completed the intervention? What were the reasons for not not completing Lev? How many sessions did the participants complete? Lev includes screening (Lev-s), three sessions + one booster session.
Level of acceptability: Was Lev perceived as creditable and satisfactory by healthcare workers and participants? Treatment credibility will be measured before Lev and after the last session for both participants and healthcare workers. Treatment satisfaction will be evaluated after each session and after the intervention is completed. Session evaluations will be done by both participants and healthcare workers.
Do the intervention lead to adverse events? To what extent were individual goals met?
