{ "Smart Walk: Increasing Physical Activity for African American Women", "This study, called Smart Walk, is testing a special program delivered through a smartphone to help African American women increase their physical activity. This program, called Smart Walk, uses an app, virtual coaching, and text messages. It's designed to be culturally relevant and aims to reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Another group will receive a Fitbit activity tracker and be encouraged to use it. The study will compare how well Smart Walk works against using a Fitbit alone. We'll measure changes in physical activity using special devices and self-reports over 4 and 12 months. You may be able to join if you are an African American woman between 24 and 65 years old, are not very active, have a BMI (Body Mass Index) over 25, speak English, and own a smartphone. This study plans to enroll 210 participants.", "design": "This is an interventional study where participants will be randomly assigned to either the Smart Walk program or a Fitbit group. It aims to enroll 210 women.", "commitments": "Participants will be actively involved in an intervention for 4 months, followed by an 8-month period with minimal contact. Physical activity will be measured at the start, 4 months, and 12 months.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for 12 months after starting the study interventions.", }
