Study Summary

This is a randomized controlled pilot trial of a text message intervention to promote physical activity in midlife adults (MASTERY), compared to an attention-matched control condition. The MASTERY intervention utilizes two-way text message sessions once-weekly for 12 weeks focusing on performing activities to enhance well being, setting physical activity goals, and learning techniques to reduce midlife-specific stress.

Primary Outcome

ActiGraph accelerometers are validated as measures of physical activity and have been used in numerous studies of physical activity in patients with medical illness. In this trial, participants will wear the accelerometer for one week at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. We will report change from baseline to 6 weeks and 12 weeks in the average number of minutes of MVPA performed per day.
