The overarching goal of this research study is to evaluate a sensor-enabled, just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) strategy to increase and sustain physical activity levels among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) in their communities. A primary objective of this study is to evaluate the integration of a JITAI with a web-based physical activity intervention program. We hypothesize that the integration of web-based physical activity intervention program with JITAI will result in significantly higher physical activity levels compared to the standard web-based physical activity intervention program alone. A secondary objective of this study is to extend existing algorithms that use commercial wearable technology to robustly detect physical activity behaviors to facilitate the delivery of tailored just-in-time actionable feedback and physical activity recommendations for individuals with SCI.
The integration of the JITAI, which provides feedback and physical activity recommendations due to sensor-based assessments of physical activity, with a standard web-based physical activity intervention program will be tested via a clinical trial. Specifically, individuals with SCI will be randomized to web-based physical activity intervention program (WI) or web-based physical activity intervention program combined with the JITAI (WI + JITAI). Within the WI + JITAI arm, a micro-randomized trial - a clinical trial design for optimizing mobile-Health interventions - will be used to randomize participants several times a day to various types of tailored feedback and physical activity recommendations.
Aim 1: Evaluate the efficacy of the WI + JITAI compared to the standard WI alone. We hypothesize that the integration of WI + JITAI will result in significantly higher physical activity levels compared to the standard WI alone.
Aim 2: Use a micro-randomized trial design to optimize the delivery of just-in-time physical activity feedback and recommendations in promoting physical activity.
Aim 3: Investigate moderators of the effect of WI + JITAI vs. standard WI alone. Moderators will include age, gender, race/ethnicity, level of injury, function, mobility, pain, and fatigue.
The proposed study will yield novel insights about JITAIs and JITAIs combined with more traditional, WI programs, which will help researchers design engaging physical activity interventions for individuals with disability in the community that may improve their health and quality of life.

|---|---|---|---|
| Web-based physical activity intervention (WI) program | Active Comparator | Participants in the WI arm will take part in the WI program (weeks 3 to 16). After the WI program is completed in week 16, the participants will transition to the physical activity sustainability phase which will include participants having continued access to the information provided during the WI program (weeks 17 to 24). |

| Web-based physical activity intervention (WI) program + just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) | Experimental | Participants in the WI + JITAI arm will take part in the WI program (weeks 3 to 16). After the WI program is completed in week 16, the participants will transition to the physical activity sustainability phase which will include participants having continued access to the information provided during the WI program (weeks 17 to 24). In addition, participants will have access to the JITAI that will provide just-in-time feedback and physical activity recommendations (weeks 3 to 24). The type of the feedback and recommendation messages in the WI + JITAI arm will be delivered using micro-randomization, which involves random selection of intervention components at each possible time of delivery. |

Sharing of data generated by the proposed research study will be carried out in several different ways. We will make our results available both to the consumers with SCI and scientific community. Conversely, we would welcome collaboration with others who could make use of the information gained in this project. Temple University and its collaborators will remain Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliant and all data will remain free of identifiers and variables that could lead to disclosure of participant identity. During the study, preliminary analyses will be conducted at periodic intervals. Our plan is to disseminate our findings in the form of interdisciplinary peer-reviewed manuscripts and presentations at national and international conferences.
The research team will work to make the data available in a reasonable amount of time after its collection and following the acceptance for publication of the main findings. Rules for maintaining and distributing data of Temple University and the NIH will be followed.
Requests for data from other scientists will be considered with provision of the following information: A brief description of the specific aims and/or hypotheses, data requirements, proposed analyses, how the data will be used, timeframe for use, and Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals. Any identifying information in the data will be redacted before sharing. In an effort to provide further protection, parties requesting data will be asked to agree to use the data solely for research purposes, to refrain from identifying participants in any manner, to secure the data electronically through encryption and/or password protection, and to return or destroy the data upon completion of the analyses.

The proposed study is a 24-week longitudinal study that will comprise of 2 weeks of baseline physical activity monitoring, 14 weeks of physical activity monitoring and intervention, and 8 weeks of physical activity monitoring to assess physical activity level sustainability. Individuals with SCI will be randomized to a web-based physical activity intervention (WI) program or a WI program combined with the JITAI (WI + JITAI). Within the WI + JITAI arm, a micro-randomized trial - a clinical trial design for optimizing mobile-Health interventions - will be used to randomize participants several times a day to various types of tailored feedback and physical activity recommendations.
