Study Summary

This trial will study whether sending rural doctors regular updates on their patients' activity levels will encourage them to refer inactive patients to be more active.

This trial is for rural primary care providers or adjunct faculty from PHN and FCM clinics who can understand and provide informed consent. It's not open to those outside these networks.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests whether an ECHO intervention increases the likelihood that rural PCPs will encourage patients to be more physically active. Some participants receive training immediately, while others are offered it in year five.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational training rather than medical treatment, traditional side effects aren't applicable. However, there may be indirect effects on workload or practice patterns.

Active Control

Group I: Delayed InterventionActive Control1 Intervention

PCP participants will be offered the intervention in year 5.

Group II: Active InterventionActive Control1 Intervention

PCP participants in the practice cohort or the intervention group will receive the ECHO46 intervention via real-time, interactive videoconferencing through Zoom sessions held once weekly for 4 weeks (4 sessions total) at regularly scheduled times convenient to providers. Session topics will focus on training PCP participants to assess, advise, and refer patients to be more physically active, as well as provide evidence-based strategies they can use to supplement and sustain their communication efforts.
