Promoting Physical Activity in Older Hispanic/Latino(a) Adults

This study is testing two programs to help Hispanic/Latino adults aged 55-89 become more physically active. One program, called De Pie, involves 6 phone sessions with a health coach over 12 weeks. The other, an active comparison program called HALT-AD, focuses on general brain health topics that you work through at your own pace online. The main goal is to see if De Pie helps people increase their moderate intensity physical activity (like brisk walking) over 12 weeks. You can join if you are 55-89, identify as Hispanic/Latino, can walk one block unassisted, and can speak and read Spanish. The study plans to enroll 130 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design: This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. It plans to enroll 130 participants.
What's involved: You would participate for up to 20 weeks. This could involve 6 biweekly phone sessions over 12 weeks, or working through online content at your own pace.
Compensation: Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up: The primary endpoint measures changes in physical activity from baseline to 12 weeks.
