Fathers and Children Exercising Together (FACEiT) - Brief Summary There are three main objectives of the protocol: 1) to develop a family-based PA promotion intervention in which fathers are the participating parent. 2) to determine if a family-based PA promotion intervention in which fathers are the participating parent will be feasible to delver, and 3) to obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy. The intervention will be developed through a qualitative research process in with African American fathers to determine essential elements of the program and to assist in adapting the intervention. Three study groups are planned: a standard intervention, a community enhanced intervention, and an active control group. Feasibility will be determined by comparing recruitment, retention, attendance, and satisfaction to pre-determined thresholds. The secondary outcomes include daily step counts as measured by the Actigraph accelerometer, anthropometrics, father reported involvement and self-efficacy, child perceived support and parenting skills, and father reported dietary intake. These measures are key because they will determine the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an intervention where African American fathers are the participating parent.
