Abstract
Physical inactivity is a primary contributing cause of chronic disease. Chronic disease affects African Americans at a disproportionately higher rate than their Caucasian counterparts. Faith-based organizations such as churches are important stakeholders in African American communities. Using physical activity trackers in faith-based organizations can help to address chronic disease.
