- description
- Motivational Intervention: The intervention group will receive a 3-component motivational intervention based on the Theory of Planned Behavior in addition to an enhanced standard of care. The components of the intervention include motivational interviewing (MI); mobile health monitoring; and action planning. At the initial visit, following baseline data collection, the clinician will use MI to build a positive attitude towards physical activity (PA). Next, they will discuss why and how to use Fitbit to monitor steps per day. The last component of the intervention includes action planning to design a PA program that fits their abilities and lifestyle. Following the in-person baseline visit, participants will be called approximately every 2 weeks during the 3-month intervention period. During these calls, the action plan will be reviewed and updated, and their step count reviewed.
