A multi-site, RCT that will evaluate the effectiveness of trained pre-med post-baccalaureate health coaches in chronic disease management. Our primary outcomes are changes in weight, physical activity, dietary choices, and patient engagement throughout the 16-week intervention. In our proof of concept (n=22), participants increased their physical activity by an average of 60 minutes per week, responded to 70% of messages, and lost 4.6% their bodyweight over 16 weeks.
