Randomized Controlled TrialThree-year effects on dietary quality of health education: a randomized controlled trial of people with screen-detected dysglycaemia (The ADDITION study, Denmark).
Healthy diet is a core component in prevention and self-management of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The long-term efficacy was assessed of a theory-based health education programme 'Ready to Act' on dietary quality in people with screen-detected dysglycaemia. ⋯ Health education aiming at action competence improved the long-term dietary quality in a population with dysglycaemia, especially according to the intake of unsaturated fat. The ADDITION trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov ID no NCT00237549.

Randomized Controlled TrialChanges in health-related quality of life with smoking cessation treatment.
Cigarette smoking causes reduced health-related quality of life (QoL) and smoking abstinence improves health-related QoL. We assessed the effects of treatment for tobacco dependence on the health-related QoL in a 52-week randomized controlled trial of varenicline and bupropion sustained release (SR). ⋯ Treatment with varenicline and bupropion SR for smoking cessation resulted in improved self-control and health transition that was mediated in large part by continuous smoking abstinence.
