Official title
A Web-App Based Lifestyle Physical Activity Promotion Program to Improve Depressive Symptom Experience: Midlife Korean American Women
Overview
This study is being done to answer a question on whether a Web App-based Lifestyle Physical Activity Promotion Program is effective in improving depressive symptom experience of midlife Korean American women (WPAPP-K).
Detailed description
This study is being done to answer a question on whether a Web App-based Lifestyle Physical Activity Promotion Program is effective in improving depressive symptom experience of midlife Korean American women (WPAPP-K). Korean American midlife women tend to suffer from depressive symptoms due to their menopausal transition, cultural background, age, and gender. The WPAPP-K program that the investigators are testing is designed to help Korean American midlife women by providing information and coaching/support to increase lifestyle physical activity and subsequently improve their depressive symptom experience during the menopausal transition. The research team wants to know if the program improves depressive symptom experience of Korean American midlife women as designed.
Interventions
- Behavioral Web-App based Lifestyle Physical Activity Promotion Program
WPAPP-K includes group and individual coaching/support by health care providers, peer coaching/support, and information to change the women's attitudes, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and social influences. The program includes 3 components in 2 languages (English and Korean): 1. Social media sites: allow participants to share their experiences and to receive individual and group coaching/ support from culturally matched peers and healthcare providers. 2. Interactive online educational ses - Behavioral The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website on depression and physical activity guidelines
A link to the CDC website will be provided through the project website, and participants will be asked to use it during the study period (12 months). Their use of the CDC website will be automatically measured through the project website.
