Participant Flow

Goal was 284 randomized participants. A total of 357 potential participants were recruited, with 283 consenting and completing baseline measurements and randomization.

We had 11 participants consent\* to the study but who were never randomized thus \*not enrolled\*. Of these, 3 completed a baseline visit but before randomization, 2 never responded to our attempts to reach them (5 calls and one letter) and 1 said they were too busy to continue. The remaining 8 were non responsive to our attempts to reach them after initial consent. All of these participants were remote and thus their randomization took place up to 2 weeks after the baseline visit.

Measure
i-STAND
i-STAND participants have a Baseline visit followed by the 1st Coaching visit. They receive wristbands that vibrate every 15 minutes to prompt a standing break, standing desks, workbook \& 10 phone-based coaching calls focused on sitting less/standing more. There is a 3 month measurement visit. Program ends at 6 months when they wear an activPAL \& have a measurement visit. Coach provides feedback on activPAL sitting time after all activPAL wears (Bsln, 3, 6 \& 12 month). They may opt to wear activPAL at 6 weeks \& get feedback. They are re-randomized at 6 months; half to be assigned to intervention boosters (5 more phone sessions/a 9-month optional activPAL) before the 12 month final activPAL \& final measurement visit. Those not randomized to boosters will have no contact until the 12 month visit. UPDATE: As of 3/31/2022, (final year 5), i-STAND ppts will no longer be re-randomized at 6 months. We will no longer follow to the 12-month timepoint \& will end all activities after 6-months. i-STAND: Via in-person and phone coaching sessions, participants randomized to this arm will be coached to find ways to sit less and stand more, and look for ways to change their home environment to encourage this, as well as look at how their lifestyle may contribute to their sitting time. Participants in this arm may be re-randomized at the half-way point to continue with additional phone coaching sessions. (As of 3/31/2022 Re-randomizations are no longer taking place)
Healthy Living Control
In this arm, participants have a phone-based Baseline visit followed by the 1st phone-based Coaching visit. No prompting devices/desks are offered; coaching focuses on topics related to healthy living, but with no focus on sitting less/standing more. They have 10 phone calls with a health coach. Participants receive a workbook. All content is from KaiserPermanente WA and is available to all members. Participants select topics \& review them with their health coach. At 3 months, participants have a measurement visit. The program ends at 6 months where participants will wear an activPAL and have a measurement visit. After that, there is no contact with the study team until 12 months when they will again wear an activPAL \& have a final measurement visit. UPDATE: As of 3/31/2022, our final year (year 5) of the study, participants randomized to the control arm will no longer be followed to the 12-month timepoint and will end all activities after the 6-month timepoint. Healthy Living control: In this arm, participants will have phone coaching sessions focused on a variety of topics aimed at improving healthy habits. There is no focus on standing more or sitting less.

In this arm, participants have a phone-based Baseline visit followed by the 1st phone-based Coaching visit. No prompting devices/desks are offered; coaching focuses on topics related to healthy living, but with no focus on sitting less/standing more. They have 10 phone calls with a health coach. Participants receive a workbook. All content is from KaiserPermanente WA and is available to all members. Participants select topics \& review them with their health coach. At 3 months, participants have a measurement visit. The program ends at 6 months where participants will wear an activPAL and have a measurement visit. After that, there is no contact with the study team until 12 months when they will again wear an activPAL \& have a final measurement visit. UPDATE: As of 3/31/2022, our final year (year 5) of the study, participants randomized to the control arm will no longer be followed to the 12-month timepoint and will end all activities after the 6-month timepoint. Healthy Living control: In this arm, participants will have phone coaching sessions focused on a variety of topics aimed at improving healthy habits. There is no focus on standing more or sitting less.

i-STAND participants have a Baseline visit followed by the 1st Coaching visit. They receive wristbands that vibrate every 15 minutes to prompt a standing break, standing desks, workbook \& 10 phone-based coaching calls focused on sitting less/standing more. There is a 3 month measurement visit. Program ends at 6 months when they wear an activPAL \& have a measurement visit. Coach provides feedback on activPAL sitting time after all activPAL wears (Bsln, 3, 6 \& 12 month). They may opt to wear activPAL at 6 weeks \& get feedback. They are re-randomized at 6 months; half to be assigned to intervention boosters (5 more phone sessions/a 9-month optional activPAL) before the 12 month final activPAL \& final measurement visit. Those not randomized to boosters will have no contact until the 12 month visit. UPDATE: As of 3/31/2022, (final year 5), i-STAND ppts will no longer be re-randomized at 6 months. We will no longer follow to the 12-month timepoint \& will end all activities after 6-months. i-STAND: Via in-person and phone coaching sessions, participants randomized to this arm will be coached to find ways to sit less and stand more, and look for ways to change their home environment to encourage this, as well as look at how their lifestyle may contribute to their sitting time. Participants in this arm may be re-randomized at the half-way point to continue with additional phone coaching sessions. (As of 3/31/2022 Re-randomizations are no longer taking place)
