Promoting Physical Activity and Healthy Eating in Latinas
This study is looking at whether a web-based program can help Latina women improve their physical activity and eating habits. The program, called the "Web-based physical activity and diet intervention," provides interactive information, goal setting, and tracking tools for 12 weeks. Researchers want to see if women using this program increase their physical activity, eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink fewer sugary drinks. You might be able to join if you are a Latina woman aged 18 or older, don't get enough physical activity, don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, or drink sugary beverages often. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status, but plans to enroll 70 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study involving 70 Latina women. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the web-based intervention or be in a wait-list control group.
- What's involved
- If you join, you will complete assessments at the beginning and after 12 weeks. You will also wear an accelerometer for seven days before your baseline visit.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants in the intervention group will complete assessments at baseline and 12 weeks. The wait-list control group will receive access to the intervention for another 12 weeks after their initial 12-week assessment.

What this trial measures
- Accelerometer-measured min/week moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA)Baseline and 12 weeks
All participants will wear an Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer during the week prior to their baseline and week 12 assessments. The Actigraph is a device that measures movement and intensity of activity and has been validated against heart rate telemetry and total energy expenditure.
- Consumption of fruit and vegetablesBaseline and 12 weeks
All participants will complete the NCI Eating at America's Table All Day Fruit and Vegetable Screener at baseline and week 12. The NCI Eating at America's Table Fruit and Vegetable Screener is self-report questionnaire that assesses the frequency of usual fruit and vegetable consumption.
- Consumption of sugar-sweetened beveragesBaseline and 12 weeks
All participants will complete the Beverage Intake Questionnaire (BEV-Q) at baseline and week 12. The BEV-Q is a self-administered, valid and reliable tool measuring the frequency and amount of beverages consumed in 19 categories of drinks, including sugar-sweetened beverages.
