This study was supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute grant no. UO1-HL087085.
Healthways developed the website for both interventions in
collaboration with Hopkins investigators and provided coaches for
the call-center directed intervention. Healthways also provided some
research funding to supplement NIH support.
Johns Hopkins University has an institutional consulting agreement
with Healthways. Under this institutional agreement, the University
is entitled to fees for consulting services.
Those faculty investigators who participate in the consulting
services receive a portion of the University fees, either as
research support or salary supplement as determined by their
supervisors.
The terms of this arrangement are managed by the Johns Hopkins
University in accordance with its conflict of interest policies.
