FIGURE 1——Recruitment and retention of participants into the Active for Life program.
Note. Community organizations tracked recruitment efforts at an aggregate level. Thus, assessment numbers refer to the number of formal eligibility assessments conducted before and during the months in which participants were enrolled during the first year of the study. Some individuals who were screened and not included during the first year of the study could have started the program at a later time.
