Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a skill-based lifestyle intervention for enhancing cooking abilities and physical fitness in young adults with intellectual disabilities.
Trial report in Disability and health journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05385016 (The Promotion of Healthy Lifestyles for Young Adults With Intellectual Disabilities), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundIndividuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) often experience poorer diet quality and lower physical fitness levels as they transition from adolescence to adulthood.
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the initial feasibility and efficacy of Chef-ID, a 12-week intervention designed to improve cooking skills and physical function in young adults with ID.
methodsYoung adults with ID attended weekly group sessions which provided hands-on cooking skills, nutrition education, and exercise. Participants were also asked to attend monthly, virtual, goal setting sessions. Feasibility outcomes included attendance, retention, and safety. Preliminary efficacy outcomes included cooking skills, lower body muscle strength, grip strength, aerobic capacity, and body weight. Paired t-tests were used to assess the differences in cooking skills, strength measures, aerobic capacity, and weight after the 12-week intervention.
resultsStudy retention was 95 %, attendance exceeded 85 % for all sessions, and no serious adverse events were reported. The number of cooking skills participants could do independently (p = 0.005), the number of cooking skills requiring only a verbal prompt (p = 0.01) and lower body strength (p = 0.004) significantly improved across the 12-week intervention. The number of cooking skills participants had no exposure to (p = 0.01) and weight (p = 0.036) significantly decreased across the intervention. No significant changes were observed for upper body strength or aerobic capacity.
conclusionsThe Chef-ID intervention was feasible with desirable initial effects on cooking skill independence, exposure to cooking skills, lower body strength, and weight. The Chef-ID intervention holds promise in enhancing cooking skills and physical function among young adults with ID. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05385016.
