Optimization of a Behavioral Intervention to Increase Physical Activity in Older Adults Living With HIV

RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Butler Hospital

Conditions: Hiv, Physical Inactivity, Aging

Interventions: Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Physical Activity, Social Support for Physical Activity, Physical Activity Coaching, Brief Advice and Self-Monitoring

Countries: United States

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine 3 interventions designed to increase physical activity in older adults with HIV. We will examine 3 potential components of an intervention package: physical activity coaching, cognitive behavioral therapy targeted toward common barriers to physical activity such as low motivation or chronic pain, and a Fitbit-based social support intervention. Our primary outcome will be physical activity, defined as steps per day. Results will guide choice of intervention components to be used in an optimized behavioral intervention.
