Summary
This study tests whether text messages tailored to a person's daily habits can help young adults who don't get enough exercise become more active and slow weight gain. About 360 participants will wear an activity tracker for 12 months and receive either personalized messages, random messages, or no messages. Researchers will compare step counts and weight changes over 18 months to see if the personalized approach works better.
