Computer Tablet Group
A computer tablet application to set goals,self-monitor healthy behaviors, record condition-related symptom impact, and self-manage a problematic symptom. Computer Tablet Group: Participants will first meet once with a trained health education specialist. During this meeting the health education specialist will work with the participant in setting constructive and manageable goals and how to achieve them safely. Participants will then receive weekly follow-up phone calls to discuss progression and/or possible trouble-shooting strategies. Participants will be asked to set goals related to increasing self managing health behaviors. Participants will be encouraged to self-monitor goals, behaviors and symptoms using a computer tablet.
Paper and Pencil Group
Use of paper and pencil diaries and worksheets to set goals, record condition-related symptom impact, and self-monitor behaviors. Paper and Pencil Group: Participants will first meet once with a trained health education specialist. During this meeting the health education specialist will work with the participant in setting constructive and manageable goals and how to achieve them safely. Participants will then receive weekly follow-up phone calls to discuss progression and/or possible trouble-shooting strategies. Participants will be asked to set goals related to increasing self managing health behaviors. Participants will be encouraged to self-monitor goals, behaviors and symptoms using a paper-pencil diary.
Standard Treatment Control Group
Participants are prescribed an exercise program and given information on healthy eating. Standard Treatment Control Group: Participants will first meet once with a health education specialist. During this meeting the health education specialist will provide general information about engaging in healthy behaviors. Information will primarily focus on the benefits of engaging in healthy behaviors and safety precautions. Participants will then receive weekly follow-up phone calls to discuss various health topics.

Patient Reported Outcome Measurement information System (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) was used to measure self-report physical function. Measures are scored on a T-score metric. High scores indicate more of the concept being measured. A score of 40 is one SD lower than the mean of the reference population. A score of 60 is one SD higher than the mean of the reference population.
