Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM) Trial
Sponsor: University of South Carolina
Summary
The Together Everyone Achieve More (TEAM) Physical Activity trial evaluates the efficacy of a group-based social affiliation intervention (vs. a standard group-delivered physical activity comparison program) for increasing physical activity among inactive African American women. Using a group cohort randomized design implemented at community centers across five years, the primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the 10-week TEAM-PA group-based intervention (vs. comparison program) on increasing daily total physical activity from baseline to post-intervention and maintenance at a 6-month follow-up.

Interventions
Intervention
Participants receiving the intervention will complete a 10-week group program. Group sessions meet once per week for 2 hours and include three components - discussion-based health promotion initiative, team-based physical activity games/activities, and team-based goal-setting and behavioral skills training. The health promotion initiative uses cultural targeting and includes a focus on cultural topics related to collectivism. Participants receive FitBits to track their physical activity and through the FitBit mobile app are connected to their group members to encourage communication and social support.
Comparison
Participants receiving the comparison program will complete a 10-week group program. Group sessions meet once per week for 2 hours and include three components - discussion-based health promotion initiative, group walking program, and individual-based goal-setting and behavioral skills training. The health promotion initiative uses cultural targeting only (and no focus on collectivism). Participants receive FitBits to track their physical activity, but are not connected to their group members on the mobile app.
