MoST-Influenced Behavioral Intervention for Walking
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Diseases, Physical Inactivity
In brief
This study is a randomized, factorial experiment using the basic Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) approach to efficiently test the effects of four distinct behavior change techniques (BCTs), goal setting, action planning, self- monitoring and feedback, thought to engage one key behavioral mechanism of action (MoA) for improving daily walking by at least 1000 steps per day in persons who have been objectively verified as sedentary and are at risk for cardiovascular disease.
