Feasibility and Acceptability of a Couple-Based Physical Activity Intervention

Overview

About this study

The specific aims of this study are to determine feasibility of recruitment, adherence, and retention of a couple-based PA intervention in a pilot RCT, to determine acceptability of the intervention (multiple dimensions of treatment satisfaction); and to describe changes in PA, physical endurance, and global physical health from baseline to follow-up as a function of randomized condition. These activities will prepare us to test efficacy of the intervention in a fully powered RCT to improve well-being, test mechanisms of action, and identify potential moderators of treatment response.
