Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Total Self-Efficacy Score on the Physical Activity and Healthy Food Efficacy Scale for Children
The Physical Activity and Healthy Food Efficacy Scale for Children (PAHFE, Perry et al., 2008) is an 18-item instrument designed to assess personal goal-setting self-efficacy and decision-making self-efficacy for physical activity and healthy food choices. This questionnaire was previously used in over 200 adolescents by the co-investigators. An example question is "How sure are you that you can set goals for yourself to eat healthy foods (like fruit \& vegetables)?"
4 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Number of text message responses to Goal Setting Question, as a measure of Adherence
4 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Text Message Group
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will set 2 lifestyle goals (exercise and nutrition) and receive health tips and goal status check in messages over 1 month.
Control Group
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe control subjects will set 2 lifestyle goals and receive a educational booklet to review.They will take home a copy of the goals they have set. The participants will be also given a 16-page pamphlet from NIDDK "A Guide for Teenagers: Take Charge of Your Health!" to take home to read over. The approximate procedure time will be 20-25 minutes.
Interventions
Throughout the course of the four-week study, the experimental participants will receive one text message each morning related to general nutrition and exercise goals, and an additional "goal status update message" on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. The goal status update message will ask the participants about the status of attaining their nutrition or physical activity goals. Participants may log their progress toward attaining their goals by using the mobile health dashboard feature on BodiMojo.com from a computer or a web-enabled smartphone to indicate their goal status ("still working on it" or "completed it"). Participants will be encouraged, via the text messages, to look at information on the BodiMojo program found on the Bodimojo.com website.
Once participants randomized to the control group have completed the baseline assessment, they will be asked to write down two health goals with the RA. The same goals will be suggested for this group as for the Intervention group (see Appendix). They will take home a copy of the goals they have set. The participants will be also given a 16-page pamphlet from NIDDK "A Guide for Teenagers: Take Charge of Your Health!" to take home to read over.
