Study Summary
This personalized trial will evaluate the effects of five behavioral change techniques (BCTs) described in Habit Formation Theory (Goal setting, Action Planning, Self-Monitoring, Behavioral Practice/Rehearsal and Habit Formation) delivered by text message to enhance low-intensity walking by 2,000 more steps per day/5 days per week in healthy Northwell employees aged 45-75 years old.
Primary Outcome
Automaticity of behavior is assessed by a 4-item questionnaire asking about the automaticity of participant's walking behavior using a 4-point Likert scale with responses ranging from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree". Items are summed together to form a total score ranging from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating that participant's new walking behaviors have become more habitual and automatic. Change in daily automaticity levels over the course of the intervention period will be examin
