Summary

Being physically active is important for everyone's health, but it is often challenging for people to start and sustain an activity routine. The investigators will develop and pilot test the PATH (PAthway To Health) program with Indigenous communities served by the Kwakiutl District Council (KDC) Health on North Vancouver Island. The project idea was conceived through a partnership between the communities and University of British Columbia health researchers. The PATH program will include an education sessions on how to be active, physical activity coaching by community health workers, and the use of Fitbit Flex (a wearable activity tracker). The investigators will develop a culturally appropriate online application to pair with Fitbit, which will provide instant feedback to individuals about their activity level. 60 community members will be recruited to test the PATH program. Their physical activity level, health status and use of activity resources at KDC Health Centres will be assessed.
