Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM) Trial

The Together Everyone Achieves More Physical Activity Trial

The Together Everyone Achieve More (TEAM) Physical Activity trial evaluates the efficacy of a group-based social affiliation intervention (vs. a standard group-delivered physical activity comparison program) for increasing physical activity among inactive African American women. Using a group cohort randomized design implemented at community centers across five years, the primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the 10-week TEAM-PA group-based intervention (vs. comparison program) on increasing daily total physical activity from baseline to post-intervention and maintenance at a 6-month follow-up.

Inclusion Criteria:

• at least 18 years of age
• self-identifying as an African American or Black female
• engaging in < 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week for the last three months

Exclusion Criteria:

• having a cardiovascular or orthopedic condition that would limit physical activity (including walking with a cane/walker)
• currently pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the next 2 months
• uncontrolled blood pressure (systolic >180 mmHg/diastolic > 110 mmHg)
