Individuals with serious mental illness are at increased risk for comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other metabolic syndromes, ultimately leading to premature mortality of up to 25 years. These individuals have decreased engagement in meaningful activities due to mental and physical symptoms. This feasibility study investigated the impact of a pedometer intervention on physical activity and engagement in daily activities.
