Study Summary

This is a randomized controlled pilot trial in approximately 50 acute coronary syndrome patients to determine if a 12 week, telephone-delivered, combined positive psychology-motivational interviewing intervention is feasible and more effective than a motivational interviewing health education program at improving health behaviors and other outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will be associated with better mental and physical health outcomes and better health behavior adherence compared to the motivational interviewing health education program.

Primary Outcome

Feasibility will be measured by examining the number of completed exercises.
