| dc.description.abstract | Two studies evaluated the effect of goal setting and social support to increase walking of older African American adults with Type 2 diabetes. The first study used a multiple baseline design across 3 participants and a participatory goal setting intervention. The second study used an A-B design with one participant, adding social support to increase walking as part of the intervention. A changing criterion design was embedded in the intervention of both studies. Results showed that although the goals for walking were not consistently met, the participants increased their overall steps above baseline. | en_US |
