An interventional study of Project WHADE: A Partner-Based Physical Activity Program for Women in Hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome, sponsored by Rowan University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to female participants aged 40 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-04-04.

This study is designed to test the feasibility and acceptability of a new method for supporting physical activity among women ages 40-65 who have risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Each participant receives a trained physical activity coach and a physical activity partner; the partner is another woman in the program. Partners communicate with each other between weekly coaching sessions to provide support for physical activity behavior change.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a new method for supporting physical activity in women ages 40-65 who have risk markers for cardiovascular disease. The primary goal is to understand perceptions of support and communication patterns between partner dyads of women in midlife (ages 40-65). The creation of these partner dyads is a promising method for promoting social support and physical activity for this population. Understanding how partners communicate with one another throughout this intervention study will give insight into how women in this population maximize benefits from partnership through communication and shared experiences (e.g., age, gender, cardiovascular disease risk, interest in being more physically active).
6,114 studies on the registry are indexed under Hypertension; 912 are open to participants now.

Ran from Jan 2024 to primary completion in Jul 2024, 6 months.
Of 1,403 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Hypertension, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 41. This study's 6 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,498 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 41.
