Summary

The investigators have developed an online platform to support the 8-week, F\&S! exercise program called the Healthy Activity Improves Lives (HAIL) online platform. The aims of this study are to conduct an open pilot trial with exit interviews (N=30) of the HAIL online platform in two racially diverse churches to evaluate its feasibility and acceptability (Hypothesis 1) as well as explore its efficacy (Hypothesis 2).

Detailed description

This is an open pilot study to evaluate the feasibility and accessibility of the HAIL online platform. This study will enroll two cohorts (i.e., at two racially diverse churches) for a total number of 30 participants. This study will use a phone screen to assess participants' eligibility and explain the study procedures. Eligible individuals will then be given a link to complete an e-Consent in REDCap as well as instructions on how to access the HAIL online platform to complete assessments as part of the baseline visit. Participants will complete the 8-week F\&S! exercise program (with access to the adjunct HAIL online platform), which will be delivered in-person as well as remote, and then continue to use the HAIL online platform during the 3-mo follow-up.
