Call for Participation: Wellness Partners Playtest Study

Seeking Adults Ages 25-44

Wellness Partners is a research study funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation®, designed to promote active lifestyles for wellness.

The goal of this study is to motivate participants to make lifestyle changes by using their social network as a source of encouragement and support. Your social network can be friends, family members, or anyone you interact with closely.

Wellness Partners includes an optional game that is based on role-playing games, virtual pets and social networking tools.

You are invited to participate with at least one other person in your social network. A minimum of 15 and maximum of 60 participants will participate in this preliminary study that will help us beta-test the software used in the study. More...
