The purpose of this research study is to determine whether a positive psychology intervention paired with a health behavior intervention is successful in decreasing perceived stress and increasing positive affect in residents of Vance and Granville County.The program will consist of 4 in person / zoom sessions that are based on empirically supported PPWB components including Optimism, Gratitude, Mindfulness and Positive Savoring to improve behavioral self-regulation towards health-related goals with an additional class five as a check in that will be used for survey completion. Specifically, principal investigator will provide participants with instruction on positive psychology exercises that can do on their own and counseling around increased fruit and vegetable intake, physical activity and smoking cessation. Participants will then be asked to create a SMART goal to work on each week of the program for one of the behaviors. Research staff will conduct surveys with participants at baseline and at end of program. Feasibility and acceptability measures of the intervention will be collected at the end of the program. Research team will also collect informal feedback from participants at the end of each of the class sessions. Classes will be delivered in person and broadcasted via zoom via a password protected zoom link. Participant who choose to remain remote and participate via Zoom will be mailed binders of study materials with information on who to call if participants have questions. Participants who attend live events will receive their materials in person. Pre- and post-intervention surveys will be sent to participants via email. This is Part 2 of study (NCT03776890)
