Dual-process Mechanisms of Action for sipIT Intervention Effects in Patients With Urolithiasis

The purpose of this study is to clarify the fundamental processes underlying behavior change, maintenance, and adherence during and after a 3-month fluid intake intervention period.

The study is a six-month ecological momentary assessment study of patients using the mini-sipIT intervention for 3 months, with weekly assessments of motivation and life events or stressors that disrupt routines during the 3-month intervention period, and monthly assessments of motivation and life events or stressors that disrupt routines in the three months following the end of intervention (months 4-6). The mini-sipIT intervention includes automated and manual tracking of fluid intake and lapse-contingent reminders to drink.
