ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new way to help people with chronic diseases make healthier lifestyle choices. Chronic diseases, like heart disease and diabetes, are often linked to habits such as poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and drinking too much alcohol. These unhealthy behaviors contribute to a significant number of deaths worldwide. The trial aims to create a procedure that healthcare providers can use to better identify these harmful habits in their patients and offer brief advice on how to improve them during medical visits, which often lack the time and tools for such discussions.

To be part of this trial, participants need to be at least 18 years old and either currently receiving treatment for a stable chronic disease or have recently completed treatment for localized cancer. They must also be able to be contacted by phone and agree to participate by signing a consent form. However, those with certain mental health issues, severe eating disorders, or significant physical disabilities are not eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to be involved in discussions about your lifestyle and receive support tailored to help you make positive changes. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it promises a focused effort on improving health through better lifestyle habits.
