ActiGraph GT9X Accelerometer

MOVED Study Participant Information Sheet

• What is an ActiGraph?

An ActiGraph is like a pedometer – it measures physical activity by sensing motion. It can also detect your sleep. It is placed on your wrist with an adjustable band and worn like a wristwatch.

• Why are we asking you and your child to wear one?

We’re asking you and your child, to wear an ActiGraph so that we can get a better sense of your and your child’s physical activity throughout the week.

• How long do I have to wear it?

We will ask you and your child to wear the ActiGraph for 7 days in a row. It is very important that you do not take the ActiGraph off at any time during the 7 days so we can gather accurate information about your physical activity. However, you can take it off while swimming or submerging in water, like taking a bath. You may keep it on while showering. We will give you an envelope to return the ActiGraph in the mail after the 7 days are over. It will not cost you any money to mail back the envelope.

• Where can it be worn?

The ActiGraph can be worn throughout all activities. It is water resistant so it can be worn while taking a shower but should be removed when swimming or submerging in water. If at any point the ActiGraph becomes uncomfortable, please contact our team using the number below.

• Will you be able to locate where I am wearing the ActiGraph?

No. The ActiGraph does not contain a GPS or locating system. Its only purpose is to measure your physical activity and sleep.

• Who can I contact with questions?

You can call our study phone number [XXX-XXX-XXXX] for answers to your question about the ActiGraph.
