Social Goals and Individual Incentives to Promote Walking in Older Adults
4. mars 2014 oppdatert av: 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.

Aktiv komparator: Control Arm
Daily use of pedometer for 5 months. Walking goal set based on level of walking during 2-week run-in period. Weekly feedback provided on meeting walking goal - defined as achieving goal number of steps for 5 of 7 days per week. Subjects in the Control Group will only receive pedometers and weekly feedback on their performance through the same mechanisms and with the same frequency as participants in the other three study arms. There will be no financial incentives or charity donations in this group. |
