Clinical Trial Summary

This trial studies how well a theoretically-based motivational behavior change program called Tu Salud Si Cuenta! works in promoting healthy lifestyles in Latino families. Tu Salud Si Cuenta! will deliver programs on healthy lifestyles and healthy homes to Hispanic/Latino families and may help to improve their health.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the efficacy of the Tu Salud, Si Cuenta! Familiar (TSSC-Family) intervention in facilitating positive changes in physical activity and nutrition among Latino adults not meeting physical activity or nutrition recommendations.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To test the effects of TSSC-Family on hypothesized intervention mechanisms (e.g., self-efficacy, stage of change, social support, social control), and the role of those mechanisms in mediating TSSC-Family effects of physical activity and nutrition outcomes.

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP I: Participants and their family member meet with a community health worker in their home over 90 minutes to learn about physical activity, healthy eating, and to set goals, once a month for 6 months. Participants also receive 2-5 text messages per week that contain health tips related to healthy lifestyles and information about local resources. Participants also attend a study visit with a research staff over 90-120 minutes at a community center, MD Anderson, or at home at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months.

GROUP II: Participants and their family member meet with a community health worker in their home over 90 minutes to receive information on how to be safe and healthy at home and information about indoor air quality, home safety, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)/first aid, how to prepare for emergencies, and keeping pests away, once a month for 6 months. Participants also receive 2-5 text messages per week that contain information about healthy homes and local resources. Participants also attend a study visit with a research staff over 90-120 minutes at a community center, MD Anderson, or at home at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Changes in Physical Activity	Changes in physical activity determined by using univariable and multivariable mixed effect models.	12 months
Primary	Increase in Fruit and Vegetable (F/V) Consumption	Assuming 1.6 portions of F/V consumed per day in the control group, power calculations show that Poisson regression model with a 0.05 two-sided significance level has 80% power to detect a 22% or greater increase (rate ratio (RR) =1.22) in portions of F/V consumption for intervention group if we have total 522 participants (261 dyads) with Intra-cluster correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.08.	12 months
