PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline to 12 weeks.

Population: This outcome was measured only in the intervention group. The 19 participants were each followed for 12 weeks. Thus 19 participants were followed for a total of 228 weeks.

Exercise Adherence will be defined as (the number of weeks a subject follows the activity prescription)/(the number of "usable" weeks). A week is considered "usable" if 5/7 days of step counts are available, and days with \<200 steps/day are considered not usable.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: change from pre- to post-intervention (week 12)

Assessed via self-report using the Patient Health Questionnaire, Depression Module (PHQ-9). a 9-item questionnaire that assesses depressive symptoms over the preceding two weeks. Each item is scored 0-3 (0 = "Not at all"; 1 = "Several days"; 2 = "More than half of days"; 3 = "Nearly every day"). A total score is calculated by taking the sum of questions 1-9, and a higher score indicates worse depression.
