Interventions

Activity monitor/smartphone health coaching

Initial health coaching at enrollment will involve the collaborative creation of an action plan with personally relevant, specific actions for increasing physical activity. The short term goals will be rated for self-efficacy and modified to maximize likelihood of success. Health coaches will discuss important mediators of physical activity (e.g., self-efficacy, enjoyment, social support, problem-solving). Weekly coaching calls will involve discussion of progress toward goals and problem-solving of barriers utilizing a motivational interviewing approach. Motivational messages will also be developed and sent daily to participants via the smartphone. These messages will indicate the percentage of steps related to their daily goal.
