Individual level intervention: automated ehealth phone program for physical activity
Phone2Health is based upon a previously tested telephone program designed to increase physical activity among urban African American adults [HLAs will facilitate access to the Phone2Health program for residents who live in developments randomized to receive the I and E+I intervention. The HLAs will obtain verbal informed consent from interested residents and set them up to use the telephone program by entering their phone number, preferred call days/times, and preferred language into a study-specific website. During enrollment, participants will indicate specific times and days they would like to be contacted. If a call is missed, the system will call back 15 minutes later. If that call is missed, the system will call on the second preferred day. After 2 weeks of missed calls, the HLA will contact the participant to troubleshoot any issues the participant is having (e.g., missed calls). Once completed, residents could re-enroll in the 12-week program if they wish to.
