Interventions
The game will target motivation via narrative and game mechanics. It will also encourage self-regulation by providing monitoring and feedback of activity. Counseling will be adapted to specifically reference concepts related to narrative and games.
The electronic activity monitor will monitor steps, and the mobile device will provide basic feedback on progress toward goals. Counseling will be standard and concentrate on self-regulatory skill-building.
