What this study is about

This clinical trial tests the effect of a physical activity intervention that emphasizes support between partners in women who are not physically active. Decisions about and participation in physical activity often involve others in one's social circle, including family and friends. Social support for physical activity and having someone with whom to engage in physical activity may promote behavioral change and help increase moderate-intensity physical activity in inactive women.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Primary outcomes

Change in objective minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activityThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Will use a linear mixed model (LMM) analysis, which includes the intervention as a fixed effect predictor and a dyad-specific random intercept to account for the dependent nature of the nested design (in the dyadic intervention group) to assess if the dyadic intervention led to increased moderate-intensity physical activity, relative to the individual intervention. will also assess changes in physical activity across time (i.e., at 6 and 12 months after baseline) using longitudinal data, where both within-dyad and within-subject (repeated measures across time points) correlations will be accounted for. Relevant covariates (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, dyad relationship, education, household income and composition, employment status, neighborhood environmental characteristics) will be adjusted for in the analysis. Potential effect modifiers, e.g., depressive symptoms, perceived stress, nei…
