Summary

This study is testing the acceptability and feasibility of an active, experiential group therapy for health behavior change within a medical setting.

Detailed description

The purpose of the current study is to offer a preliminary test of feasibility and acceptability for a group intervention, conducted in a primary care setting, that aims to teach skills that initiate health behavior change. Participants will be recruited from a local family medicine clinic and groups will be held on site at the clinic. Patients will be recruited by their physicians and given a baseline survey of their exercise and nutrition behaviors as well as their overall well being and self efficacy to change their health behaviors. Participants can join the group at any time and attend as many sessions as desired. Groups are held 2 times per month and include worksheets, meditations, and exercise. Patients and their providers will be given 2 follow up surveys after 5 and 13 weeks to assess for acceptability and feasibility of the program, as well as health behavior change. Statistical analyses will include multivariate analyses, descriptive analyses, and frequency data collection.
