A Randomized Trial: Changing Behavior in Post-Angioplasty Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Angioplasty Patients

In brief

The long-term objective of this study is to determine whether a positive affect and self-affirmation condition added to an empirically demonstrated approach for motivating behavior change is more effective than a standard approach in reducing risk factor behavior among a high-risk group of patients with coronary artery disease. Thus, the goal of the project is to refine and improve strategies for long-term maintenance of physical activity among patients post-angioplasty or stent.
