Summary

Physical inactivity is pervasive and prevalent in the United States, particularly among women of low socioeconomic position, and women with children.

The broad objective of this study is to test the effectiveness of Free Time for Wellness (FT4W), an innovative multilevel physical activity intervention to increase physical activity among low-resourced mothers.
