Brief Summary

This pilot study will test the feasibility and acceptability of an enhanced individual-level intervention delivered to 4th-6th graders to increase rates of walking to/from school. Up to 8 youth who do not already walk to school will be enrolled into the intervention. The theoretically-based intervention content will be delivered over 6 weeks through family-based telephone coaching sessions, ongoing short message service (SMS) text messaging, and activities and content on the study website.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Acceptability of Intervention: "Satisfaction Questionnaire"

  Acceptability and preferences related to intervention content will be measured using a questionnaire developed for this study ("satisfaction questionnaire"). Families (both parent and child responding together) will respond to 5 items asking about satisfaction with the intervention components. Items are rated on a 10-pt scale (minimum:1- maximum:10), with higher values indicating greater satisfaction. They will respond to two additional open-ended questions asking which aspects of the intervention they liked most and least. These qualitative items will be summarized.
