Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention Group
The intervention group will be enrolled into a WeChat Group to receive reminders to exercise and health education materials.
|
Consenting participants will be randomized to either the intervention or the control arm after successfully wearing an accelerometer for one week. The WeChat Group will be a community forum to share information, encourage each other, and receive communications from the study team. In addition, the study team will disseminate the following information through the group:
|
Active Comparator: Control Group
Controls will receive a handout telling them to increase walking and that walking may be helpful for the eye at the return visit.
|
Study participants in the control group will receive a handout telling them to increase walking and will be counseled that walking may be helpful for the eye at the return visit

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Efficacy of using WeChat as an intervention to increase physical activity in Chinese glaucoma patients
Time Frame: 5 weeks
|
The primary outcome variable will be the number of daily steps taken over the course of one month for each participant. This outcome will be measured by having participants wear the Accelerometer WGT3X-BT, from which we can collect steps data. From this primary outcome measure we will also assess the change in number of steps taken comparing the first week to the following month after the intervention. Assuming mean enrollment number of steps per day is 9,302.29, we can detect an average increase of 2,500 steps per day with alpha set to 0.05 with 80% power. |
