  • Community Medicine
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Walking groups offer a cost-effective method for promoting sustainable physical activity and social well-being.
  • Walk with a Doc (WWaD) is a national initiative pairing medical professionals with community members for health education and exercise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the Stony Brook WWaD chapter using a mixed-methods questionnaire.

  • Participants reported positive feedback, highlighting informative talks and educational pamphlets, with community gathering being the most enjoyable aspect.

Conclusions:

  • The Stony Brook WWaD chapter demonstrates the value of walking groups.
  • Such programs foster collaboration and promote accessible healthy behaviors.
  • WWaD contributes to the evidence base for community-based physical activity interventions.
