Measure
I-STAND
Participants randomly assigned to the I-STAND intervention group will receive 2 in-person health coaching sessions and 4 biweekly phone-based health coaching sessions. They will receive a wristband that gives a mild vibration after 20 minutes of inactivity and will be encouraged to stand if possible after each inactivity alert. Participants may also choose to receive biweekly email reminders in the weeks between coaching calls. They will also receive a workbook with content around reducing sitting time. I-STAND: Participants receive health coaching, a workbook, an inactivity alert wristband, and feedback charts based on objective measurement of sedentary time.
Healthy Living
Participants randomly assigned to the Healthy Living enhanced usual care control group will receive 1 in-person health coaching session and 5 biweekly check-in letters by mail. They will receive a workbook with general healthy living topics that are not expected to impact sitting time. All content is taken from Kaiser Permanente Washington's website and is available to all members. Participants will select topics of interest and review them on their own with no further health coaching. Healthy Living: Participants receive enhanced usual care based on general healthy living topics that are available to all Kaiser Permanente Washington enrollees.
