Summary
This study tests a multi-component behavioral intervention to find the minimum number of weeks needed to help adults on statin therapy increase their daily walking by 2,000 steps. Participants wear a Fitbit to track steps and receive techniques like goal setting, action planning, and feedback. The goal is to identify the smallest effective dose of the program that leads to lasting behavior change.
