Information/Attention Comparison
the women will be randomized to either the LPA Intervention or Information/Attention Comparison groups using a permuted block randomization scheme. Participants in both groups will be followed longitudinally with repeated assessments of LPA (accelerometer & LPA diary), stage of change, and self-efficacy at baseline and 3 and 6 months; and functional health and well-being (SF36) at baseline and 6 months.
