背景自助印刷材料和电话辅助咨询通常都被证明是增加体力活动的有用策略。本研究探讨了他们的有效性的干预措施，旨在促进步行的具体bests. Methods。参与者（n = 399）被随机分配到两个为期3周的干预计划之一。印刷计划包括多次邮寄宣传册，强调在当地社区环境中行走。印刷加电话方案收到了同样的小册子和三个电话。通过邮寄的自我完成的调查收集的数据进行了分析，探索与特定的步行的结果。两个项目在任何步行测量方面都没有显著差异。两组每周报告的步行锻炼时间均显著增加[打印：t（1，277）=-3.50，P < 0.001;打印加电话：t（1，106）=-2.44，P < 0.016]。显著地，更多的参与者在打印加电话组报告接收和阅读材料（卡方（2）= 20.11，P < 0.0001）。干预计划在增加锻炼步行方面比其他任何目的都更成功。增加简短的电话支持成功地将参与者的注意力集中在印刷材料上，但没有导致步行的任何额外增加。(C)2004年癌症预防研究所和爱思唯尔公司。All rights reserved.
Background. Both self-help print materials and telephone-assisted counseling have generally proved useful strategies to increase physical activity. This study examined their effectiveness in an intervention aimed specifically at promoting walking for specific purposes.Methods. Participants (n = 399) were randomly allocated to one of two 3-week intervention programs. The Print program comprised multiple mailing of brochures that emphasized walking within the local community environments. The Print plus Telephone program received the same brochures plus three telephone calls. Data collected via mailed self-completed surveys were analyzed by exploring outcomes related to walking for specific purposes.Results. There were no significant differences between the two programs in any of the walking measures. Both groups significantly increased time reported walking for exercise per week [Print: t(1,277) = -3.50, P < 0.001; Print plus telephone: t(1,106) = -2.44, P < 0.016]. Significantly, more participants in the Print plus Telephone group reported receiving and reading the materials (chi(2) = 20.11, P < 0.0001).Conclusions. The intervention programs were more successful at increasing walking for exercise than for any other purpose. The addition of brief telephone support was successful in focusing participants' attention on the print materials, but did not result in any additional increase in walking.
