%X Issue addressed: Several national campaigns promote walking and the use of a pedometer to monitor walking activity. It is assumed that wearing a pedometer has a positive effect on walking activity and the likelihood of attaining walking goals. There is no direct research evidence that feedback from pedometers has a positive effect on walking activity. The purpose of this pilot project was to examine the efficacy of feedback from a pedometer as an intervention to increase adherence to a walking program.
