Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants will be receiving a 2-month coaching session intervention that will be delivered via telephone or video-conferencing. Each of the 6 sessions will be 30-45minutes long and one-on-one with a student coach. In each session, coaches will review the participants' health behaviours and assess their knowledge about behavioural risks factors for chronic diseases and their current behaviours. The coaches will then provide information about the health risks of poor health behaviours, and benefits of change. Health behavioural goals will be established through a collaborative process. The coaches will then assist participants to develop readily achievable action plans that participants will follow in between coaching sessions as a means to realize their health goals. Adherence and modifications to the action plans will be discussed at the follow-up coaching session to promote health accountability.
