An Evaluation of Lifestyle Change Classes and Grocery Credits to Promote Healthy Behavior Change

Wellness Rx is a 6 class prescription for a healthier lifestyle developed for people in Lake County at all levels of health including those struggling with chronic disease. The classes are running across the community at all times. It is designed for patients that could benefit from healthy diet, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle modifications.

For those participants attending the classes, they have the option of engaging in this evaluation. For those that do, participants will answer questions about their current lifestyle, their and their previous history. They will register attendance at each class and answer questions about their perception of the class. Then at 45 days and 90 days the participants will revisit the same baseline lifestyle questionnaires.

As participants attend classes, and complete questionnaires, they'll unlock grocery credits from online food store ThriveMarket, a basket of fresh produce from the local farmers market and local fitness classes to help you towards your goals. The use of these credits will be tracked through the 90-day point.
