简要总结
The investigators will randomize 20 rural libraries to implement either a group-based walking (standard approach) or a group-based walking combined with a civic engagement program (combined approach). Each rural library will enroll between 15-20 participants. The investigators will compare the change in physical activity between participants in each group.
详细描述
The goals of this study are:
- Increase the capacity of rural libraries to deliver evidence-based health promotion programs
- Compare the effects of a group-based walking program with a combined group-based plus civic engagement program on physical activity, cardiovascular fitness and collective efficacy among rural residents.
- Evaluate program implementation

研究组 & 干预措施
Walking only (Step It Up!)
A group-based, weekly walking program (Step It Up) where participants walk for up to 45 minutes.
干预措施: Walking only (Step It Up!) (Other)
Combined (Step It Up! plus Change Club)
A group-based, weekly walking program (Step It Up) where participants walk for up to 45 minutes. Participants also spend 30 minutes each week in a civic engagement program (the Change Club) improving walkability in the community

结局指标
主要结局
Cardio respiratory fitness
时间窗: Change from baseline cardio respiratory fitness at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months.
Participants will be asked to complete a six-minute walk test to measure cardiorespiratory fitness. The distance walked in 6 minutes will be recorded.
Physical activity
时间窗: Change from baseline physical activity at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months.
Participants will be asked to wear an accelerometer for \>10 hours/day for seven days at the wrist to measure physical activity. An accelerometer is a small device worn at the wrist that records acceleration, the change in velocity of a participant over time.
Collective Efficacy
时间窗: Change from baseline collective efficacy at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months
Participants will be asked to complete a survey regarding collective-efficacy, the Collective Efficacy Scale (Sampson and colleagues, 1997), which measures how well communities work together to make things happen.
次要结局
- Weight(Change from baseline weight at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months.)
- Hip circumference(Change from baseline hip circumference at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months.)
- Blood pressure(Change from baseline blood pressure at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months.)
- Height(Baseline)
- Resting heart rate(Change from baseline resting heart rate at 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months.)
