Study Summary
This trial is testing whether a group self-compassion intervention is as effective as one-on-one delivery for increasing physical activity among women at risk for CVD.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Positive control condition: Individually-Delivered Self-Compassion InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A 4-week intervention pairing behaviour change and self-compassion education, aimed to increase physical activity and help women cope with their risk of cardiovascular disease. Participants in the individual condition will complete Sessions 2-4 individually with a facilitator. Both conditions will be exposed to identical intervention content. All intervention sessions will be hosted on an institution-sponsored Zoom videoconferencing account.
Week 1, Session 1 (60 minutes): Participants will meet individually with a facilitator to discuss CVD risk factors and set physical activity goals.
Weeks 2-4, Sessions 2-4 (60 minutes each): Participants will meet individually with a facilitator to receive self-compassion education to aimed at encouraging adaptive coping with cardiovascular risk and physical activity behaviour change. Brief self-compassionate writing exercises will be assigned as home practice after Sessions 2-4.
Group II: Group-Delivered Self-Compassion InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A 4-week intervention pairing behaviour change and self-compassion education, aimed to increase physical activity and help women cope with their risk of cardiovascular disease. Participants in the group condition will complete Sessions 2-4 with 6-9 other participants plus a facilitator. Both conditions will be exposed to identical intervention content. All intervention sessions will be hosted on an institution-sponsored Zoom videoconferencing account.
Week 1, Session 1 (60 minutes): Participants will meet in their group to discuss CVD risk factors and set physical activity goals.
Weeks 2-4, Sessions 2-4 (60 minutes each): Participants will meet in their group to receive self-compassion education to aimed at encouraging adaptive coping with cardiovascular risk and physical activity behaviour change. Brief self-compassionate writing exercises will be assigned as home practice after Sessions 2-4.
