About this trial
The goal of this randomized controlled study is to learn if, in addition to nurses, community members can be trained as health coaches to deliver the HealthyLifetime (HL) program to people without complex chronic health conditions, an intervention that provides a short-term and effective health coaching intervention delivered through a virtual platform to improve health, resiliency, and independent self-care to participants who are without complex chronic conditions. The main question it aims to answer is:
• Can Community Health Coaches achieve the same level of competency and outcome as Nurse Health Coaches in participants without complex chronic conditions?
