Overview

The overarching goal for this project is to develop a service-learning program that provides students excellent hands on training and patients with an excellent service that advances their health and well-being. The aim of this study is to test the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of an 8 week intervention on physical behaviors, cognitive function, and health outcomes compared to a control condition among sedentary, overweight and obese adults.

The overarching goal for this project is to develop and test a service-learning health promotion intervention that provides students hands on training and patients with a service that advances their health and well-being. Inactive but healthy community members and patients being treated at our local hospital will be recruited to participate. Interested volunteers will be randomized into one of two 8 week interventions. The control group will receive basic education information on physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep that is consistent with standard of care. These materials will be accessed via a health coaching software program called Healthie. The treatment group will receive the same education information plus health coaching and a Fitbit activity monitor to further support behavior change. Participants will be blinded to their group assignment. Major outcomes include physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep, cognitive function, and several health outcomes. Success on whether or not the program is found to be feasible, acceptable, and effective.
