Summary

Internet-based health promotion programs have the potential to reach more individuals than in person interventions, without overtaxing healthcare resources. Having a high quality, user-centered web-based program can help maximize user engagement and adherence. Thus, the primary objective of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based physical activity behavior change program on recently retired and/or empty nest populations. The primary research question is: Is it worthwhile to conduct a larger scale eHealth study targeting empty nest and/or retired populations based on preliminary results and feedback from this pilot study. We will also be examining changes other behavioral indicators related to physical activity as a secondary outcome measure.
