Official title
Pilot RCT of the Web-app Based Lifestyle Physical Activity Promotion Program (WPAPP) for Middle Aged Latinas
Overview
The purpose of the proposed project is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Web-App based Lifestyle Physical Activity Promotion Program (WPAPP) for middle-aged Latinas. The WPAPP is a web application (app) to promote lifestyle physical activity that was developed and tested with Korean American middle aged women. It shows promise for effectiveness with Latinas. The specific aims are: 1. To test the feasibility and satisfaction of the WPAPP modified for Latinas. 2. To examine preliminary effectiveness of the WPAPP-Latina on increasing physical activity and decreasing depressive symptoms.
