Foregrounding Behavioral Change to Develop Healthier Lifestyle Behaviors and/or to Manage Chronic Diseases

Teresa Mastin (Communication)


This project was a proposed community partnership with the Healthy Washington Heights Coalition (HWH). The overarching goal was to aid the efforts of Washington Heights residents who are striving to develop habits that lead to a healthier quality of life. Specifically, during a three-month period, utilizing two-way communication, participants engaged in journaling and monitoring their food intake and physical activity in an effort to consciously process their daily habits for the purpose of making changes that lead to overall enhanced quality of life.​
