Do Medical Students Appreciate Lifestyle Medicine and Are They Confident in Their Skills?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: As the prevalence of chronic diseases increases worldwide, there is a need for educating future physicians in the use of lifestyle medicine to treat and prevent diseases. Any addition to the undergraduate medical curriculum requires a strategic educational approach with consideration for efficiency. This study aims to identify priorities for lifestyle medicine interventions in the undergraduate medical curriculum. Methods: Third-year medical students (N=115) were surveyed on their beliefs about lifestyle medicine and their confidence in lifestyle medicine skills. The survey consisted of seven items to which students responded with how closely they agreed via a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics were reported. Results: Most medical students entering their clinical years understand the value of lifestyle medicine in patient care (100%) and want to learn the skills and knowledge involved (98.2%). The value of lifestyle medicine counseling skills during the limited patient-doctor time was least universally acknowledged among third-year medical students (93.9%). Third-year medical students are most confident in being able to obtain a comprehensive lifestyle history (3.6±0.8) and least confident in setting clear, personalized, lifestyle change goals (3.1±0.9). Conclusion: Future interventions to increase confidence in lifestyle medicine skills should focus on educating students on setting lifestyle change goals, personalizing prescriptions, and motivational interviewing for use in clinical care.
