Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: interventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The intervention group will be mailed a Fitbit device and provided access to the RecTech Match website. Intervention participants will receive weekly calls for the first 6 weeks, and a call every other week for the following 6 weeks (9 in total) from a health coach to discuss progress, facilitate setting physical activity goals, and help mitigate obstacles to participate in physical activity in the community. Participants will be free to access the features and resources of the website. The Fitbit data will be collected on an ongoing basis and the participants will receive daily texts asking them to rate the amount of physical activity for the day.

Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention

The control participants will not have access to the RecTech Match website; however, control participants will be directed to generic information available on the NCHPAD website, which includes the same information but is not delivered through RecTechMatch.com.
