Expert system-based physical activity counseling

The intervention included 14 mailings to participants that involved completion of physical activity questionnaires printed on forms that were scanned into a computerized expert system program to generate individually-tailored feedback messages and related manuals based on the Stages of Motivational Readiness for Change Model. Newsletters providing additional support and suggestions for increasing physical activity were also part of the mailing program.
