Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Intervention model description: This study uses a single-arm study with all participants receiving the intervention
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: The goal of this project is to develop a scalable physical activity intervention tailored to rural men. We will recruit participants nationwide from ResearchMatch data base, emails, and social media posts. Participants will have access to health education materials hosted on Healthie, a health coaching software platform, and provided an activity monitor (e.g., Fitbit) to support behavior change. The health education materials provide participants with education, motivation, and support for making health behavior change (e.g., increasing physical activity levels). We will measure physical activity behaviors, psychosocial, and several health outcomes
