The program consists of four interconnected components: (1) app, (2) accelerometer, (3) health coaching, and (4) behavioral incentives to increase food and vegetable intake, reduce saturated fat intake, increase physical activity, and decrease sedentary screen time among adults Appalachia Kentuckians.
Rural Appalachians suffer among the worst health profiles in the US including elevated rates of cardiovascular disease. Although a healthy diet and active lifestyle can reduce mortality and morbidity, only 12% of rural Appalachian Kentuckians consume the recommended daily intake for fruits and vegetables and nearly 35% indicate no physical activity. Personal technology is increasingly common in rural Appalachia, presenting a new opportunity to prevent and manage chronic disease. Most (68%) Appalachian Kentuckians have smart phones and reliable internet access (78%). We propose the first (to ou…
Inclusion Criteria: * adults residing in Appalachian Kentucky * willingness to use smart phone to record and modify diet and activity * willingness to wear an accelerometer * consume \<4.5 cups fruit/vegetables daily * consume \>8% daily calories from fat * engage in \<150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity weekly * spend \>90 minutes daily on non-work, non-education-related sedentary recreational use of screen time.

The Stress Management Program will utilize a smart phone app, accelerometers, telephone coaching, and behavioral incentives to target stress, relaxation, and sleep. Participants will wear accelerometers, log hours slept, enter real-time information about their relaxation exercises and stress, and monitor 3 goal thermometers (sleep, relaxation, stress) to meet behavioral targets. The Stress Management Program, including the use of the app and assessments, is identical to the Adapted MBC2 program, with the exception of the content.
The Adapted MBC2 Program will utilize a smart phone app, accelerometers, telephone coaching, and behavioral incentives to target fruit and vegetable intake, dietary fat intake, physical activity, and high sedentary leisure screen time. Participants will wear accelerometers, log hours slept, enter real-time information about their relaxation exercises and stress, and monitor goal thermometers to meet targets.
