Official title
A Randomized Multiple Baseline Intervention Study of Metabolic Syndrome, Mental Health, and Spiritual Well-Being of United Methodist Clergy in North Carolina
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study seeks to test a two-year intervention designed for United Methodist clergy. The intervention consists of: the stress reduction program Williams LifeSkills, adapted for clergy; the 10-session online weight loss program Naturally Slim Foundations plus its 7-session online booster program, Naturally Slim Advanced; monthly phone conversations with Wellness Advocates who function as health coaches; and three in-person workshops that cover the theology of the body and incarnation and provide the religious rationale for caring for the mind and body. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three cohorts, all of which will eventually receive the intervention but which differ by intervention timing, thereby building in a randomized waitlist control group. The investigators hypothesize that intervention participants will achieve reductions in metabolic syndrome, depression, and stress, and achieve improvements in quality of life and spiritual well-being, compared to the waiting control group participants.
