Brief Summary

This research will focus on the effect of a 6-month behavioral intervention delivered via the World Wide Web that is aimed at increasing physical activity levels and decreasing dietary fat intake in a general population of adults. The study will be randomized and blinded. We are also planning to study subjects' compliance and retention rates when enrolled in a completely on-line study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Comparison of the level of compliance and retention between the two groups.

• Mean body mass index (BM) of trial completers relative to their mean baseline BMI.

  Six Months

• Comparison of mean physical activity level, fat intake scores, and BMI of trial completers in each treatment arm at 6 months (outcome means adjusted for baseline values).

  Six months

• Changes in PA levels, fat intake scores and BMI over time for subjects in each treatment arm.
