Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary Objective: To test the effect of two text messaging strategies, responsive texts and standard scheduled texts, on sedentary behavior in a racially and geographically diverse sample of adults.

Secondary Objective: To assess participant engagement with the program and with the educational content delivered via text messaging.

Exploratory Objective: To determine whether two text messaging strategies, responsive texts and standard scheduled texts, increases physical activity in a racially and geographically diverse sample of adults.
