Summary

This study tests whether community members can be trained as health coaches to deliver the HealthyLifetime program, a virtual health coaching intervention designed to improve health behaviors and prevent functional decline in adults aged 30 and older with few chronic conditions. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive coaching from either a nurse or a community health coach. The study measures changes in satisfaction with life, lifestyle habits, and confidence in managing daily activities.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
HealthyLifetime program (health coaching delivered by community members)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that trained community members can effectively deliver health coaching, expanding access to programs that help people adopt healthier habits and prevent chronic disease.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage study with 300 participants, and results may not apply to everyone. The program's success depends on the coaches' training and participants' engagement.
