Interventions

  • Web-based physical activity and diet intervention — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants receive access to a theory-driven, web-based intervention for 12 weeks that provides interactive information on diet and physical activity, including goal setting, diet and activity tracking, tailored information on healthy eating and increasing exercise, and videos on topics of healthy eating and physical activity.
  • Wait-list control arm — OTHER
    Participants in the wait-list control will complete all the same measures as the intervention group for the first 12 weeks, then will receive access to the Internet-based intervention for another 12 weeks.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an Internet-based behavioral intervention can increase physical activity and improve diet quality among Latina adults. The main question aims to answer is whether participants in the Internet-based behavioral intervention group increase their physical activity levels, increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables, and decrease their consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages over 12 weeks. Researchers will compare the Internet-based physical activity and healthy eating intervention to a wait-list control group (participants who do not receive any intervention until after completing the study) to see if the Internet-based behavioral intervention works to improve physical activity and diet quality. Participants who receive the Internet-based behavioral intervention receive access to the online intervention for 12 weeks, and complete assessments at baseline and week-12. Participants in the wait-list control complete the same assessments at baseline and week 12, then receive access to the online intervention for 12 weeks.
