Intervention / Traitement
Expérimental: Healthcare providers

Healthcare providers will receive the intervention, OACareTools+, which involves a training session on, patient resources about, and provider referral to Walk With Ease.

OACareTools+ is a healthcare provider intervention that combines healthcare provider education, customized patient and clinical resources, and technical support from a national organization to facilitate provider counseling on and referral to as well as patient engagement in Walk With Ease. There are 2 main parts to this intervention: 1) Healthcare provider education: The study team will deliver the provider education and resources (including information about Walk With Ease and the established referral process/smartphrase) in live and recorded presentations and in follow-up emails. 2) Implementation: Providers will use the resources to briefly counsel patients about physical activity and Walk With Ease and use the smartphrase to refer patients to Walk With Ease. Patients will register for and participate in the online Walk With Ease program. Patients and providers can seek assistance from the national organization as needed during these processes.
