Pasos Hacia La Salud: a randomized controlled trial of an internet-delivered physical activity intervention for Latinas.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Internet access has grown markedly in Latinos during the past decade. However, there have been no Internet-based physical activity interventions designed for Latinos, despite large disparities in lifestyle-related conditions, such as obesity and diabetes, particularly in Latina women. The current study tested the efficacy of a 6-month culturally adapted, individually tailored, Spanish-language Internet-based physical activity intervention. METHODS:Inactive Latinas (N?=?205) were randomly assigned to the Tailored Physical Activity Internet Intervention or the Wellness Contact Control Internet Group. Participants in both groups received emails on a tapered schedule over 6 months to alert them to new content on the website. The primary outcome was minutes/week of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) at 6 months as measured by the 7-Day Physical Activity Recall; activity was also measured by accelerometers. Data were collected between 2011 and 2014 and analyzed in 2015 at the University of California, San Diego. RESULTS:Increases in minutes/week of MVPA were significantly greater in the Intervention Group compared to the Control Group (mean difference?=?50.00, SE?=?9.5, p?
