In the summer of 2018, community members of Whitesburg, Kentucky (KY) were recruited to join
the Tanglewood to Table walking program, and community members of Harlan, KY were invited to
serve as controls. Each Thursday or Saturday, participants report whether or not they walked
the 1 mile trail to the farmers market, how many steps the walked in the previous 7 days and
they reported which fruits and vegetables they consumed the previous week. The control group
will receive nutrition education handouts. The program is from June 2018 - January 2019.
Participants complete questionnaires about fruit and vegetable consumption and physical
activity. Participants also provided physical and biological measurements. Recruiting for the
2018 Walking Program will begin in May.
