The overall goal of this study is to determine the whether the Walk with Ease (WWE) program in its 2 version (group-assisted and self-directed) can increase physical activity and fitness levels among individuals (18 years and older) with arthritis over the long-term. Participants will be approximately 657 subjects from 20-24 rural and urban communities across North Carolina. It is expected that participants in the WWE program will have reduced pain, improved function and increased activity levels after participation in this 6-week program.
