Summary

The focus of the study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a pilot one-arm project delivering text messages related to positive psychology (PP) activities (e.g., recalling positive events) and health behavior text messages (e.g. having a heart-healthy diet, becoming more physically active). The messages will be sent for 4 weeks among patients with a prior acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Conditions

  • Acute Coronary Syndrome

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Intervention arm: Text Message Intervention

Participants will receive a combination of messages promoting both psychological well-being and education /support around health behavior adherence, such as physical activity or diet. In the first part of the study, participants will receive 28 fixed text messages that alternate between physical activity and PP (Positive Psychology) messages. In the second part of the study, participants will first receive a set of 14 pre-selected daily messages that contain a broad range of attributes to allow sufficient participant feedback to clearly identify preferences. After the first 14 messages, new messages will be selected based on the prior preferences of participants.
