Social Goals and Individual Incentives to Promote Walking in Older Adults
2014年3月4日 更新者：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.
