Promoting Physical Activity in Latinas Via Interactive Web-Based Technology
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Physical Activity Intervention and Wellness Control for Inactivity. Completed, enrolled 207 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In this study, investigators are specifically targeting Latina women as they are more likely to be inactive and, therefore, are at higher risk for developing chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. The objective of Pasos Hacia La Salud is to test a Spanish-language Internet-based Physical Activity Intervention, in comparison to a Spanish-language Internet-based Wellness Contact Control condition. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups (Exercise and General Wellness). The investigators hypothesize that at the end of treatment, intervention participants will report significantly more minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week than the wellness contact control participants.
