Brief Summary
This research was designed with partners to determine differences in temperature exposures in urban and rural communities in Alabama. The investigators hypothesized that significant differences in temperature exposure exist between urban and rural settings. Time spent outdoors has been previously positively associated with greater physical activity. Built environment components in urban versus rural environments and ambient temperatures experienced during the summer may pose barriers to time spent outdoors. Persons with Type II Diabetes Mellitus may find it more difficult to overcome temperature barriers due to reduced thermoregulation capacity. This analysis will result in a more precise picture of temperature exposure as well as behavioral factors that may mediate exposure.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
temperature
participants wore a small thermometer on their shoe that recorded temperature in 5 minute intervals for the duration of participation
7 days
Secondary Outcomes (2)
steps
7 days
fasting glucose
7 days
Study Arms (1)
30 additional minutes outdoors
EXPERIMENTALParticipants were asked to go about their normal activities during the first 2 baseline days of participation. Participants were asked to spend an additional 30 minutes outdoors per day for the next 5 days of participation.
Interventions
Participants were asked to add an additional 30 minutes of time spent outdoors during the last 5 days of participation
