Experimental Treatment
Group I: Within-participant micro-randomizationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Each day in the study, with probability .5 for each, a participant is randomized to receive a notification that day or no notification that day. If a participant is assigned to receive a notification that day, 1 message set will be randomly selected from a pool of 60 message sets. There are 2 types of message sets: 1) Support and 2) Consequences. If a participant is assigned to receive a Support message set, they will be randomized to receive either the Emotional or Practical Support version. If a participant is assigned to receive a Consequences message set, they will be randomized to receive either the Gain Framed or Loss Framed version.
