Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Moderate adaptation strategyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants receive up to 3 messages/day to support achievement of their behavior change goal. Messages are only delivered outside of a participant-specific Do Not Disturb window (e.g., 11pm-8am). Messages with coordinating images are selected randomly from three content domains: Move More, Sit Less, and Inspirational Quotes Unrelated to Movement within the first month. The decision rule for each participant will be refined on a monthly basis throughout the 6-month study based upon the accumulating data on how each participant is responding to different messages under different conditions.

Group II: Aggressive adaptation strategyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants receive up to 6 messages/day to support achievement of their behavior change goal. Messages are only delivered outside of a participant-specific Do Not Disturb window (e.g., 11pm-8am). Messages with coordinating images are selected from three content domains: Move More, Sit Less, and Inspirational Quotes Unrelated to Movement within the first month. The decision rule for each participant will be refined on a monthly basis throughout the 6-month study based upon the accumulating data on how each participant is responding to different messages under different conditions.
