Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized, controlled pilot trial to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the DREAM program, an 8-week message-based intervention to promote physical activity and well-being in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Detailed Description

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

This is a randomized, controlled pilot trial to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the DREAM program. DREAM is an 8-week message-based program to promote physical activity and well-being in adults with type 2 diabetes. In DREAM, participants will complete twice weekly messaging sessions, in which they will set weekly physical activity goals and perform activities to enhance well-being. The primary outcome is feasibility (measured by number of messaging sessions successfully transmitted) and acceptability (measured by 0-10 utility ratings). Secondary outcomes include preliminary impact on physical activity and psychological and health-related outcomes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

DREAM

Participants will engage in twice weekly, interactive messaging sessions with DREAM, a computer-based messaging system designed to help people engage in more physical activity and improve overall well-being. In the first session of each week, participants will set a physical activity goal and learn a new positive psychology topic. They will review goals and topics from the prior week. In the second session, participants will be reminded of the goals set during the first messaging session earlier that week. The program will run for eight weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

DREAM

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will engage in twice weekly messaging sessions and will work towards a physical activity goal each week for a total of eight weeks.

Wait-list control

Participants in the wait-list control condition will engage in usual medical care for eight weeks, then will complete the DREAM program.
