Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: No-CoachExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This is a fully automated intervention. The No-Coach group will complete an online activity that will guide the creation of a habitual instigation implementation intention (e.g., When I finish eating lunch at work, then I will put on my walking shoes and go outside) and receive a 2-week long personalized email campaign. They will not be able to reply to the emails for support.

Group II: CoachedExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This is a semi-automated intervention. The Coached group will complete an online activity that will guide the creation of a habitual instigation implementation intention (e.g., When I finish eating lunch at work, then I will put on my walking shoes and go outside) and receive a 2-week long personalized email campaign. Prompts will be added to the end of each email such that these participants can respond to give feedback, ask questions, and receive additional support from a (human) coach.

Group III: ControlActive Control1 Intervention

The control group will be told that they can work a WOW routine on their own, with the opportunity to complete the intervention after completing the 4-week follow-up assessment.
