FIT4Life Text Message Program

FIT4Life is a text message based physical activity project that includes one baseline week and 26 weeks of intervention delivery. Study participants will be provided with fitness trackers to support their physical activity goals. The text messages are intended to motivate participants to engage in physical activity throughout the week, but do not prescribe specific exercises/workout regimens for participants to follow.

Text Messages

Behavioral

There will be two arms for the texting intervention: high and low. Both arms will receive text messages, but the frequency of the messages will vary by arm. Text intervention messaging will be sent through an automated text messaging service programmed by the CM Research Informatics team, which has been approved by the institution.

Primary outcomes

  1. Acceptability and preferences

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of program at 27 weeks

    Descriptive analyses will be used to analyze the survey data and qualitative thematic analyses will be used to analyze interview data to determine participant preferences and program acceptability.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Physical Activity Minutes

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of program at 27 weeks

    Longitudinal models will be used to investigate changes in physical activity minutes over time, from before (baseline) to after the intervention.

  2. Change in Physical Steps

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of program at 27 weeks

    Longitudinal models will be used to investigate changes in steps over time, from before (baseline) to after the intervention.
