TL;DR
The Print intervention was more economically efficient than the Phone intervention in engaging participants in a more active lifestyle and research is needed to determine the cost-effectiveness of the intervention in aMore diverse population, within the context of the health service delivery system and over a longer period of time.
Abstract
The Print intervention provides an efficient approach to increasing physical activity. Research is needed to determine the cost-effectiveness of the intervention in a more diverse population, within the context of the health service delivery system and over a longer period of time.

185 Citations2001Debbie A. Lawlor, Barbara Hanratty
It appears that advice in routine primary care consultations is not an effective means of producing sustained increases in physical activity, however, these results may not be applicable to the United Kingdom, where the structure of primary care is unique.
