Make Better Choices 2

Make Better Choices 2 MBC2 employs technology to help you eat better, sleep better, and get more exercise. And participants were able to keep up the positive changes.

The goal of the study is to test whether MBC2 can promote healthy changes and prevent unnecessary sickness and death in people in Eastern Kentucky. An earlier version of this study helped people make and maintain health behavior changes. The current study is being led by Nancy E. Schoenberg, Ph.D. Dr Schoenberg is a professor of behavioral science in UK’s College of Medicine. Deanna Lee Sherman, who lives in Harlan County, is the study’s project manager. Many members of local communities have contributed to the project’s design. For the past 16 years, Dr. Schoenberg has worked with talented and committed local residents to create health programming that people feel is important. Her projects include Faith Moves Mountains. MBC2 brings one of the most innovative new programs to improve health to Eastern Kentucky. Study participants will:
• Use a new health app and a Fitbit to track eating, sleeping, exercise
• Work with a trained, local health coach
• Participate in 2 in-person health checks
• Receive $ incentives for meeting goals

To qualify for this study, you should:
• Be willing to track your health behaviors with a Smartphone App and a Fitbit
• Be 18 years or older

🌅 Good morning from Letcher County, Kentucky!

The mountains come alive as the sun rises over the ridges, painting the sky in shades of orange, pink, and gold. There’s no better way to start the day than watching the first light peek through our Appalachian hills. ☀️

Come experience mornings like this in the heart of Eastern Kentucky — where every sunrise feels like a fresh start. 💛
