Motivational interviewing intervention for increasing physical activity and improving dietary behaviors: The Lupus Intervention Fatigue Trial protocol.

ABSTRACT: The Lupus Intervention Fatigue Trial (LIFT) is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of a six-month motivational interviewing intervention program versus an educational control to reduce fatigue in persons with systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Participants are randomized using a stratified, 1:1 allocation design to the LIFT intervention or control arm. We plan to enroll 236 participants to achieve the target of 200 persons with six-month follow-up for the primary endpoint. Specific aims of this study are to evaluate the impact of the LIFT intervention on 1) self-reported measures of fatigue and 2) impact on accelerometer-measured physical activity. The primary study outcome is six-month change in fatigue from baseline, assessed by the Fatigue Severity
