Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Thirty-five million Latinos live in the U.S. and nearly 14% have peripheral arterial disease (PAD) defined as a build-up of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the legs. Approximately 40% have at least one risk for PAD (i.e., aged 70 years and older, diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, or smoking). Persons with at least one risk factor and who are physically inactive are more likely to suffer from severe PAD. Physical inactivity is highly prevalent in Latinos and a major risk factor for PAD. Physical inactivity affects 50% of Latinos aged 60 years and older.

Participation in this study will last for about 3 months. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups. One group will receive text messages, brief telephone calls, and a handout. The other group will only receive the handout. The study will be looking at how the different groups respond to the different interventions used in the study.

Study Groups

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

Experimental Group

Participants will receive text messages and telephone calls during the length of their participation. Participants will receive a handout with information on PAD and physical activity.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Text Messages

Intervention Type OTHER

Text messages will be sent one time per day. Text messages will include messages to motivate and inform participants on the importance of walking.

Phone Calls

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants may receive a telephone call every two weeks for one month followed by once per month for two months.

Handout

Intervention Type OTHER

Handout includes information specific to participant's condition and ways to promote an active lifestyle.

Control Group

Participants will receive a handout with information on PAD and physical activity.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Handout

Intervention Type OTHER

Handout includes information specific to participant's condition and ways to promote an active lifestyle.
