Multilevel Approaches for Promoting Physical Activity in Rural Populations
The purpose of the study is to test a multilevel intervention's impact on increasing physical
activity among rural residents. It is expected that participants who participate in more of
the intervention (e.g., all levels) will increase their physical activity more than the
control group and individuals who participate in less of the intervention (e.g., one level of
the intervention).
activity among rural residents. It is expected that participants who participate in more of
the intervention (e.g., all levels) will increase their physical activity more than the
control group and individuals who participate in less of the intervention (e.g., one level of
the intervention).
The study will test the independent and moderating effects of a multilevel intervention and
the community environment on physical activity among rural residents. The multilevel
intervention consists of community, interpersonal, and intrapersonal aspects. The community
level intervention consists of community events. The interpersonal level intervention
consists of walking group formation. The intrapersonal level intervention consists of cues
provided by short message service messages (i.e., text messaging). A dose response
relationship is expected in the intervention communities.
