Study Summary
This trial will study the effects of an environmental intervention, an eHealth phone program intervention, or both, on changes in moderate intensity physical activity.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for English or Spanish speakers who live in Boston Public Housing or on property owned by the Boston Housing Authority, plan to stay there for at least 2 years, have phone access, and are willing to wear a physical activity tracking device during assessments. It's not for those already in another incompatible physical activity study or unable to consent.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if an environmental program (creating walking trails/maps), community-led walking groups, an eHealth phone program, or both combined can increase moderate intensity physical activity among residents. Participants from different housing developments will be randomly assigned to one of these interventions or a control group with no intervention.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions like exercise programs and motivational calls, side effects are minimal but may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
Are there still openings available for individuals to take part in this trial?
"The clinical trial website has reported that this medical study is actively recruiting, with the original post dating back to May 2nd 2022 and an update released on the same day."
Answered by AI
How many participants are actively engaging in this trial?
"Affirmative. According to clinicaltrials.gov, enrollment for this trial is ongoing and the information was recently updated on May 2nd 2022. 624 patients across a single site are being recruited for participation in this research project."
Answered by AI
What are the core aims of this investigation?
"This clinical trial, which will be evaluated over a course of one year to measure changes in light, moderate and vigorous physical activity levels per day at the end of 24 months, has three secondary goals. These include assessing mediator effects of support from healthcare professionals via an investigator-developed questionnaire; evaluating participants' motivation through another customized survey; and determining neighborhood walkability with more questions based on the same format."
