Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Lifestyle counseling
The intervention condition will contain multiple components: nutrition education, physical activity, social support, social media (Pinterest and Facebook), and smartphone applications for self-monitoring. Students in this condition will have access to the private study website, which will be the central platform for delivery of the program materials and social support. The website, developed using Wordpress.com, will include nutrition materials, exercise videos, a forum, and links to the study's Facebook and Pinterest pages
Intervention group
attention control condition
Students randomized to the attention control condition will receive educational emails three times per week. Nutrition materials will be sent once a week, and links to the YouTube exercise videos will be sent twice a week. At the start of the program, students will be emailed a link to the Pandora workout station. The materials sent to the control group will be the same materials posted on the website for the intervention group. Participants will access the emailed lessons and videos each week at their own convenience. Individuals in the attention control condition will not have access to the study website or social media pages.
