Experimental Treatment
Group I: Behavioral Change Techniques to Increase WalkingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Individuals will receive daily text messages with the goal of increasing daily walking by 2,000 more steps five days per week. Participants will be enrolled for a baseline period lasting two weeks where their average daily activity level will be assessed using a Fitbit device to generate an average daily step counts. Following completion of baseline, participants will receive daily text messages of behavior change techniques (BCTs) for eight weeks. The four BCTs utilized in this study are: goal setting, action planning, self-monitoring of behavior, and feedback on behavior. Each BCT will be delivered to participants daily for a two-week block. Four blocks (one BCT per block) will be delivered to the participant. The order in which the BCT interventions are presented to participants will be randomized by the study statistician. The goal of the BCT text messages will be to encourage walking behavior.
