teleABLE to Reduce Post-Stroke Sedentary Behavior

Sponsor: University of Minnesota

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial to test whether a remotely delivered behavioral activation-based intervention called "teleABLE" works better than a health education intervention for (1) reducing sitting time and (2) improving health-related quality among adults who were diagnosed with stroke within the past 12 months. Participants in this study will: * Complete questionnaires at Weeks 1, 8, and 24 * Wear an activPAL monitor at Weeks 1, 8, and 24 * Participate in the teleABLE intervention (12 sessions) or the health education intervention (6 sessions) * Complete an interview at Week 24

Official title: teleABLE: Adapting a Behavioral Activation-Based Intervention to Reduce Post-Stroke Sedentary Behavior Using Telehealth (Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

teleABLE (telehealth-delivered Activating Behavior for Lasting Engagement)

teleABLE uses behavioral activation to build personally meaningful non-sedentary throughout the day. This is accomplished using a global strategy, the ICAN Planning Process, which guides participants through activity scheduling, activity monitoring, self-assessment, and collaborative problem solving.

Health Education

Health Education provides information about stroke using factsheets from the American Heart Association and reflection questions that support participants in applying the information.
