Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether a positive psychology intervention paired with a health behavior intervention is successful in decreasing perceived stress and increasing positive affect in residents of Vance and Granville County. Participants will attend 4 classes that occur once a week. The first class will focus on nutrition, the second class will focus on exercise, the 3rd class will focus on tobacco use, and the 4th class that will review the previous 3 classes and help participants incorporate the strategies taught in the Destress for Health Program into their everyday lives. The duration of each class is 1 hour and the classes will be held once a week for a total of 4 weeks. Participants in this research study will be asked to complete 2 surveys. The first survey will occur during class 1, and will ask participants about their demographic information, health behaviors, stress levels, emotions, and behaviors. The second survey will be conducted over the phone and will occur 30-days after the final class and will ask participants about their health behaviors, stress levels, emotions, behaviors and also about whether or not they felt the classes they attended were useful to them. Total study duration is about 2 months.
