Study Summary

Our goal in this study is to further refine StandUPTV, an application designed to reduce SST in adults in our first study (ASU IRB # STUDY00012109), for the StandUPTV Habits program. This program aims to establish a non-sedentary habit triggered by an alert from the StandUPTV application after participants engage in approximately 30 minutes of SST in the evening.

  • Able to read/understand English (>5th grade literacy)

  • Willing to download StandUPTV Habits

  • Willing to wear activPAL and CGM device during study assessment periods

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Planned relocation

  • Current smoker

  • Have a major illness (e.g., heart disease, cancer, renal disease) for which MVPA iscontraindicated

  • Diagnosed with diabetes or gestational diabetes in the past

  • Currently using a CGM

  • Pregnant

  • Occupation that requires substantial use of personal device for media-relatedactivities (e.g., social media)

Study Description

This mobile health (mHealth) pilot study aims to develop and test an intervention designed to maintain reductions in evening sedentary screen time (eSST) over a 12-month period. The study will target a nationally recruited sample of adults at risk for type 2 diabetes and will employ a novel habit formation strategy to address individual barriers to sustained behavior change. As a Phase II pilot study within the ORBIT Model framework, this research seeks to provide critical insights into the relationship between maintained reductions in eSST and metabolic health. The intervention combines theory- and evidence-based approaches, leveraging commercially available screen time monitoring tools to scale the StandUPTV application. This pilot study will lay the groundwork for a subsequent Phase III fully-powered randomized clinical trial, aiming to evaluate the impact of sustained eSST reduction on diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk in a national sample.
