Summary

Community based interventions are more acceptable to community members when all participants receive the intervention. A 'stepped-wedge' or 'multiple-baseline' design allows for all participants to receive the intervention by randomizing participants into conditions defined by the length of the baseline period. The primary aim of this pilot study is to gather data that will allow the researchers to estimate parameters, such as the appropriate length of the baseline period that will allow them to power a larger study. A second key aim is to determine if a smartphone intervention that is delivered to parents can increase physical activity in their 6-10 year old inactive children.

Conditions

  • Physical Activity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

P-Mobile App

The behavioral strategies are based on Social Cognitive Theory. The following topics will be covered: self-monitoring, goal setting, stimulus control, making time for exercise, exercising in- and outdoors, problem-solving, reinforcing PA, reducing sedentary behaviors, relapse prevention, parental modeling, lifestyle exercise, self-efficacy, self-management, parental PA modeling, parental co-participation, and establishing PA rules. Parents will be provided with adapted step goals (based on principles of shaping). Text messages will be designed to prompt PA, remind parents of concepts from the lessons, and motivate behavioral change.
