dc.description.abstractWhen developing targeted messages to promote parental support for physical activity (PA) among families of children and youth with intellectual disabilities (CYID), the extended parallel process model (EPPM) may be employed to guide the incorporation of risk information and framed PA messages. This study explored: 1) the effects of an online messaging intervention on EPPM constructs and parental support for PA among families of CYID, and 2) parents’ perceptions of different messaging strategies. A four (time) x three (risk) x three (frame) repeated measures experimental design was employed. Parents of CYID (N = 80) received various combinations of risk information and framed PA messages, and completed online questionnaires. The risk information and framed PA messages evoked diverse message perceptions among participants. Additionally, decreases in EPPM constructs and parental support for PA observed over time, regardless of condition, suggested that participation in the study itself may have influenced these outcome variables.
