NIH is funding Rowan University to pilot a partner-based physical activity coaching program for midlife women with elevated cardiovascular disease risk.

### Description

A pilot trial to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and integrity of a randomized trial comparing individual physical activity coaching with partner-based coaching for insufficiently active women ages 40–65 with elevated cardiovascular disease risk. The project will also test partner-matching and re-formation procedures and finalize a protocol for a future efficacy trial.
