BCT Intervention For Walking Habit Among Caregivers of People With AD/ADRD
This 12-week trial is testing whether personalized text-message coaching can help caregivers of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias build a regular walking habit. Researchers want to see if at least 60 percent of participants develop consistent daily walking using behavior change techniques delivered by phone. This is a Phase NA study, meaning it is evaluating whether the approach works in practice rather than testing a drug or device for safety and efficacy in the clinical sense.
