Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Chronic diseases are a leading cause of death in the US, preventable through lifestyle behaviors like physical activity and healthy diet.
  • Existing health programs lack long-term effectiveness and focus on meeting established guidelines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a health program's impact on participant confidence, health outcomes, and behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Within-subjects analysis assessed pre-post changes in weight, health, and confidence in achieving step count and fruit/vegetable goals.
  • Between-subjects analysis compared program graduates and dropouts on weight, health, and confidence.

Main Results:

  • Program graduates lost an average of six pounds and reported increased health and confidence.
  • Dropouts exhibited significantly lower health and confidence levels than graduates.

Conclusions:

  • The health program positively influenced confidence and health outcomes in graduates.
  • Enhancing confidence-building materials during pre-assessment is recommended for program improvement.
