The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and feasibility of an integrated, prescriptive, and trackable wellness intervention combining five wellness elements including exercise, mindfulness, sleep, social connectedness, and nutrition.
This study involves participating in a 90-day integrated, prescriptive, trackable wellness intervention, which includes five wellness elements: exercise, mindfulness, sleep, social connectedness, and nutrition. The intervention is divided into three phases (each spanning 30-days): Phase 1 - 'Boot Camp', Phase 2 - Solidify, and Phase 3 - Sustain. Program requirements include: Implementing 5 wellness interventions daily for the first 30-days, at least 5 days for the next 30-days, and at least 3 days for the final 30-days, documenting daily online adherence, completing daily wellness exercises to improve mental wellness, and completing online program forms prior to beginning the program, at 30-days, and again at 90-days. Once eligibility is confirmed via the initial orientation/screening call, study personnel will mail each participant a WILD 5 Wellness Workbook within one day of emailing participants their unique identification codes plus their start dates. Participants will be instructed to document adherence regarding their daily wellness practices and their daily wellness exercises online via Qualtrics, an online survey software. Participants can document their daily adherence using their computer and/or their smartphone as Qualtrics offers a mobile version of the Participant Tracking Form. A copy of the Participant Tracking Form will also be available in the WILD 5 Workbook so participants that prefer keeping a daily paper log can do so, and they can then transfer their program adherence information to the online Participant Tracking Form throughout the program. The workbook will contain the participant's personal identification code; no personal identification will appear in the workbook in order to protect participant confidentiality. One day prior to a participant's start date, which will be set during the orientation/screening call, participants will receive an automated email from an online automated email service (MailChimp), with a reminder about their start date, and encouragement to contact study personnel with any questions or concerns. Participants will also receive daily motivational emails from an online automated email service (MailChimp), which will provide general information about one of the five wellness elements and/or one of the wellness exercises, as well as encouragement to track their participation on a daily basis, and encouragement to contact study personnel via email with any questions and/or concerns.
