Developing a Text-Message Enhanced Physical Activity Intervention for Latino Men
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Text-Enhanced Physical Activity Intervention Arm, Health Education Control Arm, and 1 other intervention for Inactivity. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study is to build upon our tailored print intervention by developing new text-delivered intervention materials to complement our print-based physical activity (PA) intervention. In Phase 1 we will conduct 6 focus groups with Mexican and Mexican American (MA) men to determine content, frequency, and types of text messages desired, and to identify cultural themes to incorporate into existing and new materials. Themes from the focus groups and sample text messages will be presented to a confirmatory focus group panel. Phase 2 will be a 6-month pilot randomized controlled trial with Mexican and MA men (N=60) to test the text-enhanced, Spanish language, individually tailored PA intervention vs. publicly available, Spanish language health education materials, including information on PA, diet, and stress management. This will be followed by post-intervention qualitative interviews to solicit suggestions for improvements to help further refine the program. The proposed pilot will support a future R01 to establish the efficacy of this multi-media, multi-level PA intervention for Mexican and MA men.
