Dietary Fiber Intake in Alcohol-dependent Patients

This tool is based on the one adapted to alcoholic patients at Saint Luc Hospital. It consists of two parts to allow cross-checking of data (redundancy) and to measure separate information:
General: it is implemented a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) in order to investigate the general diet profile.
Daily: it resumes the sequencing of a full day which allows to verify the information previously obtained as well as to precisely identify the moments of consumption of alcoholic and non-alcoholic inputs.
This 7-day recall will be carried out at two times: week T1 for reminder of the week before hospitalization then T2 for reminder of the week back home. In this last case, this anamnesis will be done by interview, but also on the basis of the diary filled by the patient in T2, in order to optimize the accuracy of the data.

The patient will have to fill in this book every day

The meals will be weighted before and after eating

This questionnaire makes it possible to further investigate the patient's diet before the episode of alcoholism in his adult and child life. The aim is to assess whether it is closer to a healthy diet (Mediterranean diet or dash diet) or a Western diet type. It is based on the recall technique and performed by a qualified dietician.

Beck Depression Inventory (score 0-63). Higher score indicates higher depression level.

State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (score 20-80). Higher score indicates higher anxiety level.

Obsessive Compulsive Drinking Scale: a total score (= obsession + compulsion) (0-40) and 2 sub-scores (Obsession (0-20) and Compulsion (0-20)) are calculated. Higher score indicates higher craving level.

Urgency Premeditation Perseverance Sensation seeking impulsive behavior scale: score of different subscales are calculated: "urgency"(0-48), "lack of premeditation"(0-44), "lack of perseverance"(0-40), "sensation seeking"(0-48). Higher score in the different subscales indicates higher impulsivity level.

Post-traumatic diagnostic scale: calculation of score is complex and described in the related publication Hearn, M, Ceschi, G., Brillon, P, Fürst, G., & Van der Linden, M. (2012). A French adaptation of the Post-traumatic Diagnostic scale. Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science, 44, 16-28.

It will be determined by blood sample (LPS level)

Patients will ingest 50microCurie of 51Chrome-Ethylenediamintetraacetic prepared in a Nutridrink®. This molecule is not normally absorbed by the intestine except when there is an increase in intestinal permeability (paracellular passage following rupture of tight junctions). The molecule is then filtered by the kidney and is found in the urine. A 24h urine collection will be carried out to measure the radioactivity emitted by 51Chrome-Ethylenediamintetraacetic

A stool sample will be collected to analyze a marker of intestinal permeability: fecal albumin

a duodenal biopsy will be collected and the expression of the tight junctions regulating the intestinal permeability will be analyzed by sectional immunofluorescence and quantitative Polymerase Chain reaction

Patients with diabetes and Pre-diabetes were randomly allocated to receive diet alone or diet plus green banana biomass suplementation during a six-month intervention period.

The intensive intervention group participates in development and implementation of the social marketing and health promotion campaign and peer-led campus activities and is assessed for their health-related behaviors. This was Wave 1 in colleges in Yr 01-02 and is being repeated as Wave 2 in colleges in Yr 03. This will also be repeated in high schools in Yr 04.

The diffuse intervention group receives the social marketing and health promotion campaign and participates in the peer-led campus activities and is assessed for their health related behaviors, but is not involved in the design and delivery of the intervention materials and activities. This was Wave 1 in colleges in Yr 01-02 and is being repeated as Wave 2 in colleges in Yr 03. This will also be repeated in high schools in Yr 04.

Obesity

Students in the intensive intervention group developed a nine-month social marketing health campaign. The campaign included five costumed characters who interacted with students on campus in residence halls, dining halls, and other highly-trafficked public areas on campus. Photos and videos of interactions were put on social media. Student participants from the general population (the diffuse intervention group) were asked to set weekly healthy goals related to diet, physical activity, and stress management throughout the campaign and received email and text messages with goal-specific written and video health-promotion messages. Faculty partnered with the students throughout the intervention process to educate and give advice on the content of health promotion messages.

Get Fruved: Obesity Prevention for Older Adolescents

Following an overnight fast and voiding, weight is measured in light clothing without shoes and with pockets emptied. Weight is measured in duplicate (average used unless > 0.1 kg difference requiring re-measurement until 2 values within range are achieved) to the nearest 0.1 kilograms using a calibrated electronic scale by trained assessors. Height without shoes is measured to the nearest 0.1 centimeter using a portable stadiometer. Height and weight are used to calculate BMI.

The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is used to measure self-reported physical activity. Results are calculated as Metabolic Equivalent (MET) minutes/week and can be used to estimate energy expenditure.

The Automated Self-Administered Recall System (ASA24) is a web-based tool that allows participants to complete 24-hour recalls online. The Researcher Web site is used to incorporate the recall process in assessments and analyze data. Subjects complete the initial 24-hour recall at the time of the in-person physical assessment. They then receive email prompts asking them to completed two follow-up 24 hour recalls within the same week for a total of two recalls on nonconsecutive weekdays and one weekend day.

Cups of fruits and vegetables/day is assessed using the NCI Fruit and Vegetable Screener (FVS). The FVS is a 19-item instrument that includes assessment of portion size.

All circumference measurements are done using a Gulick tape measure. The waist is measured at the level of the iliac crests. The hips are measured at the maximum extension of the buttocks, and used to calculate body adiposity index (9) and hip to waist ratio. The neck is measured at the level of the Adams apple which can be palpated to identify location.

Eating competence is measured using ecSatter Inventory (ecSI). The ecSI consists of 16 items that measure eating attitudes, food acceptance, internal regulation, and contextual skills such as meal planning. Those who have higher eating competence scores are more likely to be satisfied with weight, have lower BMI, and consume more fruits and vegetables than those with lower eating competence scores.

Perceived stress is measured Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The PSS is a 14 item instrument designed to measure the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful. Individual scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress.

The Behavioral Environmental Changeability Survey (BECS) was developed and is used to assess perceptions of the importance and willingness to change weight related behavior. The BECS consists of eight scales (Nutrition Changeability; Nutrition Behavior; Environmental Changeability; Program Importance and Changeability; Exercise Behavior; Sleep Behavior and Importance; Weight Loss; and Alcohol Intake).

Quality and quantity of sleep are assessed using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The survey has 19 self-reported items related to sleep over the past month. The items generate seven component scores (sleep quality, sleep latency, duration, efficiency, disturbances, use of sleeping medication and daytime dysfunction) which are summed for a global PSQI score.

Changes in overall consumption of all foods on campus are evaluated by reviewing the ordering records (with control for total student population) and sales data for all vending and dining services.

The changes in the environment are assessed using the Healthy Campus Audit and the CEPS. The HCA assesses physical activity, food, and policy aspects of the environment.

The use of the recreational facilities are assessed through reviewing entrance records (with control for total student population).
