teleABLE to Reduce Post-Stroke Sedentary Behavior

Description

The goal of this clinical trial to test whether a remotely delivered behavioral activation-based intervention called "teleABLE" works better than a health education intervention for (1) reducing sitting time and (2) improving health-related quality among adults who were diagnosed with stroke within the past 12 months. Participants in this study will: * Complete questionnaires at Weeks 1, 8, and 24 * Wear an activPAL monitor at Weeks 1, 8, and 24 * Participate in the teleABLE intervention (12 sessions) or the health education intervention (6 sessions) * Complete an interview at Week 24
