This pilot study will test the feasibility and acceptability of an enhanced individual-level intervention delivered to 4th-6th graders to increase rates of walking to/from school. Up to 8 youth who do not already walk to school will be enrolled into the intervention. The theoretically-based intervention content will be delivered over 6 weeks through family-based telephone coaching sessions, ongoing short message service (SMS) text messaging, and activities and content on the study website.
