About This PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) Study in Somerville

This study explores how a physical activity program can affect hormone health and diabetes risk in girls ages 8-12 who may be at higher risk. The study aims to address: * Does the 'ActiveGirls' program meet the needs of girls and families in engaging them to increase physical activity? * What is the trend of markers of diabetes risk and puberty hormones over a 1-year period and how are these levels related to physical activity levels? Participants in this study will either: * Participate in a 'full' intensity intervention that includes educational messages (text/email) as well as health coaching visits to support physical activity over a 6 month period * Participate in a delayed 'lower intensity' intervention that includes only educational messages (text/email) * Participants in both groups will complete at-home activity monitoring, two study visits for check-ups and tests, and surveys
