Active lifestyle study

 

Following the CHARM approach, we are developing a mobile phone application (uniquely combining accelerometer and GPS technologies) to facilitate the capture and feedback of activity level data. The study includes approximately 150 participants households in a UK city.  The study will compare the activity levels of three groups: a control group that will receive no feedback, a group that will receive graphical feedback about their own activity levels, and a group that will receive feedback about their own activity levels and the average activity levels of the other participants in the study.

 

Research data includes activity level data, base line and post intervention questionnaires, longitudinal ethnographic interviews and focus groups.
