Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this project is to trial the protocol of a park-based physical activity (PA) intervention in adults with severe mental illness (SMI) in a community mental health center's peer support program.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aim 1: Test the feasibility and acceptability of a park-based PA intervention led by Certified Peer Specialists (CPS) and adapted for adults with SMI. Rationale: Park-based interventions led by CPSs represent a novel approach to increase program satisfaction and adherence to PA behavior change in persons with SMI. Hypothesis 1A: Most (80%) people offered the intervention will participate most of the time (≥2 day/week). Hypothesis 1B: CPSs and SMI patients will express satisfaction with the program (6 on an 8-point scale). Aim 2: Test the effectiveness of a park-based PA intervention led by CPSs on increasing PA and improving fitness in adults with SMI. Rationale: Park-based PA is associated with greater intensity and duration of PA, better fitness, and less obesity and depression, issues that are especially problematic for adults with SMI. Hypothesis 2A: People enrolled in the intervention will engage in more PA than at baseline (90min moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA)/week). Hypothesis 2B: The intervention will result in improved fitness (6 min walk test) relative to baseline.

Physical Activity

Physical activity sessions at public parks led by a Serenity Behavioral Health Certified Peer Specialist

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physical Activity

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Physical activity sessions will take place 3x/week over six weeks and will take between 45 and 60 minutes for each session. The sessions will be led by a Serenity Behavioral Health CPS as part of the PEERS program and will be supervised by research staff. Sessions will occur at public parks. Transportation to the park will be provided by Serenity Behavioral Health. Structured activities will include a warm-up, a mix of simple exercises requiring minimal supplies (such as walking, basic aerobic movements, and body weight resistance exercises), and cool-down. Sessions will be held in green park environments with shade, restrooms, and level walking paths.

Waitlist

Participants will continue their usual care in the PEERS program. They will be offered the intervention after they have completed posttest measures.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
