Brief Summary

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

The Mindfulness, Nutrition and Exercise to Optimize Resilience (MENTOR) program is offered through the National Center on Health, Physical Activity and Disability (NCHPAD). NCHPAD is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a public health practice that offers health promotion programs and resources to people with mobility disabilities. The purpose of this project is to provide a free-of-charge wellness program designed to improve health and wellness for people with mobility and physical disability living in the United States.

Detailed Description

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

The objective of the MENTOR program is to improve wellness for people with mobility limitations. MENTOR is a free, 8-week program focusing on physical, mental, and emotional health for individuals with an existing disability or a recent diagnosis. The program provides core information on mindfulness, exercise, and nutrition. Participants get one-on-one health coaching and access to a fitness instructor, registered dietician, and mindfulness coach. The classes are virtual, and the exercise equipment needed for the classes will be mailed to participants.

The research question is to measure the effectiveness and implementation of the MENTOR program.

Participants will be asked to fill out an eligibility sign-up form on NCHPAD. If eligible, they will be consented by Shirley Ryan AbilityLab (SRAlab) via REDCap. On the same SRAlab REDCap survey link, after the consent form, they will be able to complete an interest form. If selected, participants will be asked to complete 3 surveys through NCHPAD Connect before the MENTOR program begins.

Once the 8-week MENTOR program is complete, you will be asked to complete a post-program survey for NCHPAD about your experience, and a post-program implementation survey through SRAlab.

MENTOR Wellness Program

MENTOR is an 8-week group program conducted via videoconferencing, designed for individuals with physical disabilities in the United States to enhance their health and well-being. The program includes 1 hour per week of mindfulness training, 2 hours per week of exercise, and 1 hour per week of nutrition education. Participants will also receive personalized health coaching and have access to a fitness instructor, registered dietician, and mindfulness coach. Additionally, participants will receive information on 8 other areas, including self-care skills, core values, outdoor time in nature, rest/relaxation, contributing to others, arts and leisure, relationships, and spiritual practice, all taught by a trained health coach over the 8-week period.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MENTOR

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will attend a group-based, 8-week online program (a total of 40 hours) via Zoom videoconferencing. The program is split into three wellness sections (Mindfulness, Exercise, and Nutrition) and eight other sections (self-care skills, core values, outdoor time in nature, rest/relaxation, contribution to others, arts and leisure, relationships, and spiritual practice). Participants will access all assessment and intervention tools on any mobile device (phone, tablet, laptop, desktop) using a password-protected identification (ID) to log in via their devices. Health coaches can create intake flows to collect health data and track analytics. Participants can see their goals, upcoming intervention sessions, and activities through the study application (app). Features of the study app include goal setting, where participants record their goals, zoom videoconferencing links for online classes and coaching sessions, and the ability to share materials with participants.
