Gamification and Social Support

Participants will be entered into a points and levels-based game designed to help them meet their step count goals. At the start of each week, the participant will receive a set amount of points. Each day their step goal is not met, they lose points. If the participant meets a certain point value at the end of the week, they will either advance one level (of five total levels); if they do not, they will drop one level. Each participant will also select a family member or friend or the study coordinator to serve as a support partner. At the beginning of the intervention, the participant and support partner will identify at least 3 ways in which they can help the participant meet their step goals. This partner will receive a weekly email reminding them of these approaches and updating them on the participant's progress.

BEHAVIORAL

Attention control

Participants will receive a daily text message with their step count from the day prior.
