Project title: _Rochester Community Wellness Initiative_______________________________
Brief Overview: a non-technical summary of the proposed project (350 words max).
What is it you want to do? Why do you want to do it? How will you do it? What is the expected outcome?
What: The UR Medicine Center for Employee Wellness (CEW) is committed to enhancing the health and well-being of individuals in the Rochester community by providing comprehensive wellness services to employees in local corporations and organizations. For this initiative, the CEW will partner with Wegmans in an innovative wellness offering that focuses on 2 essential components of maintaining health and preventing the genesis of chronic disease: physical activity and nutrition. We will enroll 300 individuals in the CEW Wellness Factor program which is a personalized coaching program offering a custom wellness plan for individuals wanting to improve their health. As part of the program design, we will use accelerometers to track physical activity and quantify progress toward achieving fitness goals. We will collect extensive outcomes data, at multiple points in time. Why: Initiating and maintaining healthy lifestyle choices are essential for good health. This project will contribute to better understanding how to initiate and sustain healthy lifestyle choices. Our purposes are to:
1. Evaluate the effectiveness of a personalized wellness coaching program on improving physical
activity and healthy eating habits.
2. Understand the integration and impact of accelerometer use in an employee based wellness
program.
3. Understand the effect of healthy diet intervention on healthy eating.
4. Evaluate the effectiveness of post-program coaching contacts on sustained behavior change.
In addition, we will amass extensive data on 300 individuals enrolled in the project. This outcomes data will inform our programs in the CEW and will also provide a resource for researchers, epidemiologists, clinicians and scholars interested in community health and wellness. How: The CEW will employ a quasi-experimental design to enroll 300 individuals in this project. The CEW will offer individualized interventions (Wellness Factor Program) focused on healthy behaviors including nutrition and fitness. We will partner with Wegmans to develop group educational programs focused on healthy meals. Outcomes: We expect to gain a better understanding about how to help individuals initiate and maintain healthy lifestyle choices. We will collect outcomes data including physiological measures, psychological measures, health related quality of life, health risk scores, nutrition measures, fitness measures, and motivation to change.

The Rochester Community Wellness Initiative UR Medicine Center for Employee Wellness (CEW) University of Rochester School of Nursing and Wegmans
Goal: We are committed to working with employers and community partners to ensure a healthier community. Our commitment involves identifying innovative and effective methods (interventions) that are both engaging and achievable and can foster long-term life style change necessary to achieve and sustain good health. Importance/ Background: Improving the health of people with chronic disease and preventing the genesis of chronic disease are primary foci in health care today (Bauer, 2014; LeFevre, 2014). Promoting and supporting healthy lifestyle choices, including activity, fitness and healthy eating habits are at the core of improving and maintaining good health (Cobb-Clark, 2014, Reiner, 2013). In fact, physical inactivity has been linked with poor physical and emotional well-being (Das, 2016, Lee, 2012). From our own experience providing employee wellness programs in the Rochester area (over 9,000 participants) we know that on average about 38% of employees report having no exercise in their daily routine and approximately 56% do meet the recommended minimum exercise per week. Additionally half of our participants do not consume the recommended diet or healthy food intake. Various programs have been designed with the goal to engage individuals to improve fitness, promote activity, and adopt healthier lifestyle habits such as appropriate nutrition/diet and sleep. The CEW has developed an individualized wellness coaching program to address each aspect of lifestyle in a meaningful way. This evidence-based program integrates strategies to help clients incorporate healthy habits that support and sustain healthy lifestyle choices over their lifetimes (Schierer, 2013; Young, 2014). This program is unique in terms of approach, focus and process for service delivery. Our model matches employees wishing to enhance their health and wellness with a “team” including a registered nurse who is a certified health and wellness coach, a nutrition coach and a fitness coach. The nurse establishes a personal relationship with the client and develops an individualized wellness vision based upon the client’s priorities and motivation. Goals appropriate to that individual are established focusing on lifestyle choices and habits and may include weight loss, improved nutrition, stress reduction, healthy sleep or a tailored exercise program. Lifestyle components appropriate and applicable to an individual and associated with health and wellness are integrated into the client’s individualized wellness plan. In addition to individualized coaching from the registered nurse, clients will receive individual sessions with an exercise coach and a nutrition coach. Facilitating behavior change is the foundation of most lifestyle programs. The CEW provides intense coaching intervention focused on behavior change for lifestyle modification. This intense engagement typically lasts 12 weeks, at which point, the relationship is terminated with the hope that successful behavior change is sustained over time. Studies have shown that while behavior change is possible (Perry, 2016, Rose, 2013), factors that assure sustained success remain elusive (Dunkley, 2014, Rise, 2013). It is not known if ongoing engagement with a lifestyle coach influences long term behavior change. In this project, the question of what effect ongoing engagement has on sustained behavior change will be explored. With the aid of an accelerometer device (Fitbit) we would like to objectively capture the impact over time of personalized wellness coaching on improved and sustained activity level. With the aid of the PHA questionnaire (with expanded nutrition section) we would like to measure the impact over time of personalized wellness coaching on improved and sustained healthy eating habits. This community based health and wellness project serve as a prototype for effective community partnerships between wellness care providers and community partners having identifiable opportunity and committed to health and wellness. Our project design will answer important questions about the role of individualized coaching on promoting behavior change and then, over time, sustainability of behavior change. Fitness remains a corner stone of health and wellness, and by introducing accelerometers, fitness outcomes will be objective, quantified and measurable. This project will create an extensive data base that will be available to researchers, clinicians and epidemiologists interested in health and wellness.

Program: The UR Medicine Center for Employee Wellness (CEW) provides comprehensive wellness services beginning with personal health assessments (PHA) which include a biometric screening conducted by nurses and a health/lifestyle survey. In addition, in person wellness coaching based on results are provided and an individualized nurse-led lifestyle coaching (Wellness Factor) program for people at risk for developing chronic disease are offered. For this project, personal fitness devices (accelerometers) will be used to objectively measure and quantify activity and the PHA (biometrics and health/lifestyle survey) will be used to capture and measure change in biometrics, healthy eating habits, and emotional wellbeing. This will enable our nurse wellness coaches to monitor activity levels during program engagement, establish goals and support new behaviors around activity levels. We can then objectively measure the impact of activity over time with changes in biometric values and lifestyle choices (captured in PHA). Purpose:
1. To evaluate the effectiveness of a personalized wellness coaching program on improving physical
activity and healthy eating habits.
2. To understand the integration and impact of accelerometer use in an employee based wellness
program.
3. To understand the effect of healthy diet intervention on healthy eating.
4. To evaluate the effectiveness of post-program coaching contacts on sustained behavior change.
Inquiry questions:
Do physical activity and diet change for individuals in a wellness coaching program?
How do changes in activity level influence physical health, psychological well-being and healthy
lifestyle behaviors for individuals in an employee wellness program?
How do changes in diet influence physical health, psychological well-being and healthy lifestyle
behaviors over time in an employee wellness program?
How do post-program completion contacts with a coach impact behavioral changes made during
active program enrollment?
Design: This is a pre/post quasi-experimental design. (Appendix A) Setting: The setting for this project will be participating clients/employees who use the UR Medicine Center for Employee Wellness for wellness services. Sample:
Phase 2: All employees who voluntarily participate in the PHA (biometrics and survey) are eligible for this project. We expect approximately 300 participants. Collaborators: This project brings together expert clinicians, researchers, nutritionists and community partners to collaborate on “best practices” to facilitate behavior change around healthy lifestyle choices using strategies that will help sustain the behavior change over time. Collaborators each bring their unique expertise to the table in terms of project design, but the aspect of this project that is particularly exciting is the partnership between the University and Wegmans. This partnership will allow CEW coaches to add customized strategies into their Wellness Factor sessions with clients that include tangible methods to promote healthy shopping and food preparation. UR and Wegmans will also develop group educational sessions hosted at a Wegmans store which will add a practical dimension to enhancing knowledge and incorporating necessary skills for successful behavior change. Post-Completion Randomization: Participants who complete the Wellness Factor program as part of the Phase 2 study will be randomized to receive an additional intervention that will commence at the conclusion of the formal coaching program:
Participants in program will be randomized into “ongoing engagement” (intervention group) OR “no
supplementary contact” (non-intervention group). A block randomized, computer-based procedure
will be used to randomize participants to one of two conditions:
2017 UNIVERSITY RESEARCH AWARD
Page 39 of 47
o Those individuals randomized into the intervention group will receive ongoing contact with
their coach for a total of 6 additional months after conclusion of the coaching program.
o Those individuals randomized into the no intervention group will not have further contact with
their coach.
o Appendix C contains details of the intervention.
Groups: There will be 4 groups in this project:
Individuals who are eligible to receive individualized Wellness Factor program coaching and enroll
in the program. See Appendix B for program description. Within this group, there are two
subgroups:
o One group who have been randomly assigned to receive post-program ongoing engagement
touchpoints.
o One group who have been randomly assigned to receive no additional post-program
engagement touchpoints.
Individuals who are eligible to receive individualized Wellness Factor program but do not participate
Individuals who are not eligible for Wellness Factor program based on program eligibility risk
factors.
Measures: See Appendix D for a list of measures and time points of data collection Analysis: Descriptive statistics will be conducted to understand the distributional properties and bivariate relations between variables at each measurement point. Two similar, yet independent, sets of analyses will be conducted to compare baseline PHA (biometric and survey) measures to program completion and follow up PHA (biometrics: Height, weight, BMI; self-report: overall health status, quality of life, stress, depression anxiety, alcohol/tobacco use, fruit/vegetable intake, exercise minutes). For each comparative analysis, paired-samples t-tests will be used. Type-I error rates will be controlled by using Holm’s Method of sequential adjustment. Pre- and Post-Program participation measures (Height, weight, BMI, stress, alcohol use, fruit/vegetable intake, self-reported steps per day, and sleep-health) will also be evaluated using paired sample t-tests, again adjusting for Type-I error rates by use of Holm’s Method of sequential adjustment. Accelerometer data (steps per day, sedentary minutes per day, active minutes per day) will be evaluated using multi-level modeling techniques that account for daily variation within persons to more accurately discern between person differences. These data will be evaluated at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. The effect of Post-program contact will be tested by comparing those who received post-program contact to those who didn’t in change from post-program completion measures to measures collected at 1 year. Superiority testing will be used to show that those in the continued contact condition did significantly better than those in the no-contact condition. T-tests will also be used to ascertain differences, and again Holm’s Method of sequential adjustment will be used. These analyses are expected to lead to a number of data-driven exploratory analyses into the program and person level factors that might predict differences in any of the variables over time. Approach to Implementation: See Appendix E for Approach to Implementation.

Appendix B: Wellness Factor Program Description
The Wellness Factor is a personalized program offering a custom wellness plan for individuals wanting to improve their health by adapting and sustaining healthier lifestyle choices. Individuals enrolled in the program are assigned to a designated Nurse Wellness Coach who will coordinate coaching with a multidisciplinary team (nutritionists, fitness experts, etc.) Each wellness plan is created specific to the individual’s needs and goals are established between the client and the nurse wellness coach and prioritized based on risk factors and client’s motivation to change. Background/ Importance: Improving health and preventing the genesis of chronic disease is a primary focus in health care today (Bauer, 2014; LeFevre, 2014; Willet, 2004). Promoting and supporting healthy lifestyle choices are at the core of maintaining good health (Cobb-Clark, 2014). Purpose: The purpose of this program is to provide an evidence based program that is focused, flexible and relevant to adult clients who are motivated to improve their wellbeing and to gain better control of their current and future health. This is accomplished by emphasizing healthy habits with focused incremental changes in daily routines that will lead to sustained behavior change over time (Lutes, 2008). The goals of the program are to:
Encourage healthy habits that promote behavior change sustainable over an individual’s life;
Support personal choices that maintain healthy physical and mental lifestyles;
Provide healthful options individualized to the unique (cultural, resources) needs of the individual.
Content: This evidence based program integrates strategies to help clients incorporate healthy habits that support and sustain healthy lifestyle choices over their lifetimes (Schierer, 2013; Spring, 2013 Young, 2014). This program is unique in terms of approach, focus and process for service delivery. Our model matches employees wishing to enhance their health and wellness with a “team” including a registered nurse who is a certified health and wellness coach, a nutritionist and a fitness coach. The nurse establishes a personal relationship with the client and develops an individualized wellness vision based upon the client’s priorities and motivation. Goals appropriate to that individual are established focusing on lifestyle choices and habits and might include weight loss, improved nutrition, stress reduction, healthy sleep, and a tailored exercise program. Once established, the designated nurse wellness coach arranges for integrated sessions with our fitness and nutrition coaches. Approach: An interdisciplinary team, including nutritionists and fitness experts, led by a certified wellness coach, utilizes evidence-based coaching strategies (David, 2016; Palmer and Whybow, 2014; Stober and Grant, 2010) when working with clients. All nurses are certified wellness coaches (Wellcoaches®) and provide one-to-one coaching sessions in which a personal relationship is established and together with the client they develop individualized wellness/lifestyle goals. Motivational interviewing techniques are employed by the nurse coach and sessions are devised based on the wellness vision and goals. Goals might include, sleep hygiene, diet, exercise, stress reduction, work/ life balance, health promotion, and managing barriers to achieve goals. The interdisciplinary team includes nutritionists and fitness experts that are integrated into the individual plan.
The nutritionist focuses on nutritional counseling that incorporates, for example, healthy eating
habits and nutrition, healthy cooking, eating out and shopping to optimize good health (Ohlhorst,
2012). Nutrition sessions are individualized based on culture, motivation and preference.
The certified physical trainer focuses on enhancing physical activity based on national guidelines
for aerobic exercise, strength/ resistance training and balance/ core training. (Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, 2016). These sessions will be individualized taking into account
preferences, abilities and physical limitations.
Delivery: This program is primarily one-to-one coaching that can be delivered face-to-face, via telephone, via telehealth technology, or any combination. This approach allows maximum flexibility in terms of scheduling and meeting the needs and preferences of individual clients. Technology is an essential component of our programs, and where appropriate, CEW integrates available mobile applications to facilitate tracking progress and self-monitoring (for example MyFitnessPal, Fitbit).
Other Program Features:
2017 UNIVERSITY RESEARCH AWARD
Page 43 of 47
Virtual Wellness Community: All participants will have the opportunity to be members in a “Virtual
Wellness Community”. The Facebook© community will facilitate communication between and
among members for the purpose of information sharing, support and encouragement, exchange of
ideas, story- telling, and to solve problems about common challenges. This component may assist
with sustained behavior change (Maher, 2014).
Portal: Participants in the program have full access to the on line portal, and “ask a coach” function.
Criteria for Program: People identified at the time of biometric screening will be eligible for the Wellness Factor program if their BMI is >25 to < 30 or if their lifestyle score is below 80. Length of Program: The Wellness Factor program includes focused intervention for an average of 3 months with sessions typically occurring every other week. See Appendix C for description of additional program details for individuals randomized to receive ongoing engagement as part of Phase 2 study. Program Outcomes: Performance Benchmarks including outreach, consent, enrollment, and completion (dropout rates and reasons), referrals to providers and programs, and metrics of success (goal progression or attainment) are captured. In addition, individual client outcomes specific to the client’s individualized vision and goals are measured and recorded by the RN. These outcomes will be measured pre-program, at session completion (3 months) and at 6 months. These outcomes are entered into a data base and the results are evaluated and reported, looking for overall improvement in the measures. Annual biometric screenings and PHA completion will document sustained success. Program Articulations: The nurse coaches initiate and maintain close communication with the client’s PCP (with client consent). This collaboration has been, and will remain, a hallmark of our program success.

Appendix C: Ongoing Engagement Intervention Description
Prior to the final appointment of the intense intervention period for Wellness Factor, the nurse coach will receive an envelope with information about group assignment, stratifying individuals into one of two groups: o Ongoing engagement group o No additional contact group
At the conclusion of the final visit, the nurse coach will inform the individuals randomized to the ongoing engagement group that: o The nurse coach will be in touch periodically (monthly to twice monthly) for 6 months (up to
12 touch points) to “touch base” with the individual to maintain contact, problem solve and provide support;
o The touch points will be brief (3 to 5 minutes), focused on sustained success BUT can be problem focused (as identified by the client);
o Verify if the best method for “contact” for the individual would be email or phone; o If issues arise between touch points, that the nurse coach is available via email.
The nurse will set up the first “touch point” and program 15 minutes into their calendar for that (and subsequent) appointment(s): o These touch points should be highlighted in the calendar for easy identification; o Routine appointments may be established or individual weekly appointments may be
preferred; o Frequency of “touch points” is discretionary but should be no more frequent than twice
monthly and no less than once a month.
The nurse coach will complete/confirm the demographic and goals section of the “Ongoing Engagement Encounter Form”. o The nurse will also complete the “Ongoing Engagement Log” which will serve as a record for
all clients enrolled in Wellness Factor and their group assignment.
At the time of “touch point”: o The nurse coach will use behavioral interviewing techniques to determine the client’s success
in maintaining behavior change; o Provide encouragement and support for success;
Acknowledge “lapses” and support “re-engagement” o Identify barriers to ongoing success; o If issues beyond the scope of the “touch point” are identified, the nurse coach may:
Refer to PCP; Refer to other program/ provider (such as follow up by nutritionist); Re-enroll (if appropriate).
The nurse coach will document the “touch point” on the “Ongoing Engagement Encounter Form”. o Including any contacts initiated by the client outside the scheduled times
At the conclusion of the ongoing engagement, the nurse coach: o Completes client’s engagement; o Summarizes success; o Offers encouragement for ongoing success.

Appendix E: Approach to Implementation: This project will occur in 3 phases:
The Pilot Phase will be an evaluation of accelerometer integration
Phase II will be the full study implementation phase
Phase III will be close-out of project
Pilot Phase: The Pilot Phase is intended to evaluate the feasibility of adding accelerometers to existing
CEW programs. We will distribute accelerometers to 50 participants and evaluate the following:
Do participants use accelerometers consistently and successfully?
o Do participants follow the required protocol for accelerometer use?
o What outreach is needed to engage clients to use accelerometers continuously?
Is data derived from accelerometer interpretable in relation to the overall project questions (see
above)?
o Is the data meaningful in differentiating activity outcomes between groups?
What number of participants is needed to determine meaningful differences between
groups?
Pilot Phase: Thompson Health N=50
All participants at time of enrollment in Wellness Factor:
o Distribution of accelerometer fitness tracker:
Agreement to wear that the fitness device daily and use “standard” settings;
Consent to obtain usage data from accelerometer for use in the Wellness Factor
program.
An orientation to use of the tracker: standard settings and synching.
In addition, we will also use this time to work with our partner, Wegmans, to plan an enhanced nutrition intervention and community based “healthy eating” programs which will be offered during Phase II. Timeline: February, 2017 to June, 2017.
Phase II: Phase II would entail full implementation to enroll 300 participants as described above. During
this phase, coaching programs will commence for eligible individuals and coaches will integrate the
enhanced nutrition intervention in their sessions. In addition, community based “healthy eating” programs
interventions will be available to all program participants.
Phase 2: Canandaigua Employer N=300
All participants at time of biometric screening: o Standard coaching by the nurse related to PHA results and goal setting
o Referral into coaching program based on PHA results.
o Distribution of accelerometer fitness tracker:
Agreement to wear that the fitness device daily and use “standard” settings;
Consent to obtain usage data from accelerometer for use in the study.
An orientation to use of the tracker: standard settings and synching.
Timeline: June, 2017 to January, 2018.
Phase III: Phase III will involve data analysis and interpretation.
Timeline: Ongoing with final analysis January, 2018 to June, 2018.
