Positive STEPS
Individuals in the intervention group will meet with a community health worker at an in-person or virtual study orientation session. At this session, they will be introduced to the program, learn how to use the online modules and any associated materials, and choose a day and time for future weekly telephone sessions. Participants will also be given a wearable physical activity tracker at the orientation session to use throughout the course of the program. They can choose to report daily step counts either by automatically syncing to an app or by manual reporting via text message. The program will be delivered over 6 weeks. Each week participants will complete a web-based module and have one telephone session with the community health worker to discuss that module and to set a related goal. Participants will also set weekly goals related to walking, which will be informed and tracked by daily step-counts from the physical activity tracker.
