Brief summary

Participants will be divided into groups of 20 for group meetings. Groups will be brought together for a group coaching session at the beginning and the end of the coaching process (i.e., intervention). Each participant will also receive four individual coaching sessions with the health coach and will be able to avail of three one-hour telephone coaching sessions during the six month intervention.
