Social Goals and Individual Incentives to Promote Walking in Older Adults
4 maart 2014 bijgewerkt door: University of Pennsylvania
Social Goals and Individual Incentives to Promote Walking in Older Adults (Way to Walk II)
The goal of this randomized and controlled trial is to test whether a financial incentive of a donation to achieve a social goal is more effective to motivate and sustain a daily walking habit than the same dollar value given to an older adult.
The investigators will achieve this using a novel computer platform utilizing a digital pedometer-internet interface.
