Brief Summary

The purpose of the proposed project is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Web-App based Lifestyle Physical Activity Promotion Program (WPAPP) for middle-aged Latinas.

The specific aims are:

1. To test the feasibility and satisfaction of the WPAPP modified for Latinas.

WPAPP-Latina

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

The WPAPP Latina intervention provides 1) educational information via modules and online resources and 2) coaching via an online forum with a chat function. The educational modules include 11 modules on physical activity promotion and 7 modules on depressive symptoms. The women are also invited to share their experiences with culturally matched interventionists (e.g., Spanish speaking graduate research assistant with expertise in depressive symptoms and physical activity) and with peer participants using a de-identified name in the online chat forum. Participants will be directed to information about physical activity with age-appropriate guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
