Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study it to determine if a promotora-led intervention that takes a comprehensive, multi-level, community-based approach to promoting physical activity (PA) is effective among a particularly underserved segment of Latinas. We hypothesize that Latinas in the promotora-led PA Intervention will significantly increase minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) compared to Latinas in the attention-control group.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Physical Activity

Weekly promotora-led group sessions on physical activity (16 weeks) and followed by monthly telephone counseling and newsletters during the 24 week maintenance period. Promotoras will also implement environmental change strategies to increase the number of PA program offerings available to study participants.
