Online program to increase activity and healthy eating for Latinas

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Seventy Latinas who report low physical activity and suboptimal fruit/vegetable intake or regular sugary beverage consumption will be randomized to a 12-week interactive Internet-based intervention or a wait-list control. Participants complete an online orientation, provide informed consent, wear a mailed accelerometer for seven days, and finish baseline physical activity and dietary assessments before randomization. The online program offers tailored content, goal setting, and tracking tools to increase fruits and vegetables, reduce sugar-sweetened beverages, and raise physical activity levels, with outcomes reassessed at 12 weeks. Researchers will compare changes in objectively measured activity and self-reported diet between the intervention and wait-list groups.
