ClinConnect Summary

Using a Health Action Process Approach framework, the purpose of this study is to examine whether sedentary behaviour and diabetes information is a meaningful source of motivation to reduce daily sitting time among preintending adult office workers. Specifically, to examine the effectiveness of an intervention guided by HAPA to influence participants' pre-intentional motivational constructs (i.e., sedentary-derived risk perceptions \[RP\], outcome expectancies \[OE\], self-efficacy \[SE\]) and intentions (GI) for reducing both occupational and leisure-time sedentary behaviour.
