Answers will include:0=No, and I do not intend to in the next 6 months, 1=No, but I intend to in the next 6 months, 2=No, but I intend to in the next 30 days, 3=Yes, I have been but for less than 6 months, and 4= Yes I have been for the past 6 months. Data will be presented as the average intention to walk 1 mile per day compared between groups over time. Scores range from 0-4; higher scores indicate increased walking.
