简要总结
The Tanglewood Trail Walking Program is a well-established community health initiative that encourages community members to walk approximately 1 mile to the Whitesburg Farmers Market each Saturday. The study aims to determine if walking to the market with a community health coach results in healthier options being selected at the market.
详细描述
In the summer of 2017, community members of Whitesburg, KY were recruited to join the Tanglewood Trail Walking Program to the Whitesburg farmers market. Each Saturday, participants reported whether or not they walked the 1-mile trail to the farmers market and they reported which fruits and vegetables they purchased. The Walking Program was held June - Sept 2017. Participants completed questionnaires about fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity. Participants also provided physical and biological measurements.
Although originally designed to compare data among walkers and non-walkers, the protocol was changed due to participant feasibility. Data were analyzed by comparing "low engagers" - those who walked to the market fewer than three times during the program - or "high engagers" - those who walked three or more times during the program. Data were collected at baseline and 3 months.
The data for years 2019 and 2020 of the Tanglewood to Trail walking program are registered separately in ClinicalTrials.gov.

研究组 & 干预措施
Walking Group (Low Engagers)
Subjects will participate in a walking group led by a community organizer as a means to get to a local farmer's market. Low engagers are defined as those participants who walked to the market two or fewer times during the program.
干预措施: walking group led by a community organizer (Behavioral)
Walking Group (High Engagers)

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Carotenoid Levels Over Time
时间窗: Baseline and 3 months
Subjects' carotenoid status will be measured using a carotenoid Raman Spectroscopy to determine if walking combined with a voucher for fruits and vegetables increases intake in fruits and vegetables as measured by carotenoid status.
