Summary

This 4-week pilot study is designed to test the feasibility, adherence, and effectiveness of a cell phone text message program for lifestyle goal setting among adolescents with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The study entails a small-scale randomized controlled trial with pre-post test of a mobile text message program.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Lifestyle text messages

Throughout the course of the four-week study, the experimental participants will receive one text message each morning related to general nutrition and exercise goals, and an additional "goal status update message" on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. The goal status update message will ask the participants about the status of attaining their nutrition or physical activity goals. Participants may log their progress toward attaining their goals by using the mobile health dashboard feature on BodiMojo.com from a computer or a web-enabled smartphone to indicate their goal status ("still working on it" or "completed it"). Participants will be encouraged, via the text messages, to look at information on the BodiMojo program found on the Bodimojo.com website.

BEHAVIORAL

Attention Control Group

Once participants randomized to the control group have completed the baseline assessment, they will be asked to write down two health goals with the RA. The same goals will be suggested for this group as for the Intervention group (see Appendix). They will take home a copy of the goals they have set. The participants will be also given a 16-page pamphlet from NIDDK "A Guide for Teenagers: Take Charge of Your Health!" to take home to read over.
