HealthyLifetime Program for Improving Health Behaviors

This study is testing if community members can be trained as health coaches to deliver the HealthyLifetime program, just like nurses. The HealthyLifetime program aims to help people improve their health behaviors, avoid functional decline (losing the ability to do everyday tasks), and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. You might be able to join if you are at least 30 years old, have no more than three simple chronic conditions, and want to improve your health. The study will look at how satisfied participants are with their home and neighborhood, their quality of life, and their lifestyle habits over 20 weeks. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
