Innovative Physical Activity Interventions for Overweight Latinos
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Telephone Support and SMS Support for Sedentary Lifestyle. Completed, enrolled 350 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of an automated Simple Message Service (SMS, also known as text messaging) advisor system relative to a proven human advisor program to promote regular, sustained physical activity among inactive, overweight Latinos. The SMS Advisor program represents a potentially lower-cost and high yield alternative to person-delivered health promotion programs that could be more rapidly disseminated with greater and faster uptake.
