Participants in the program are assigned a health mentor who assesses individual lifestyle habits and health status, identifies goals for lifestyle change, and serves as a motivator and physical trainer. The individualized components of the In SHAPE program are supplemented with group-level positive reinforcement and motivational incentives. This evaluation project systematically evaluates the In SHAPE health promotion intervention.
