Official title: Fuerte y Sanas: Exercise and Nutrition Program in Improving Physical Activity and Dietary Behavior in Non-Active, Overweight, or Obese Latinas

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well an evidence-based exercise and nutrition program adapted for Latinas works in improving physical activity and dietary behavior in non-active, overweight, or obese rural Latinas. An exercise and nutrition program may reduce the risk for developing certain cancers, obesity, and chronic health conditions in Latinas who are non-active, overweight, or obese.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Adapt an effective evidence-based exercise and nutrition program to meet the needs of rural Latinas.

II. Implement the adapted program in a rural Latina population. III. Evaluate feasibility and potential to improve physical activity and dietary behavior of the adapted program in a rural Latina population.

OUTLINE:

Phase I: Create a community advisory board to adapt Strong Women Healthy Hearts Program (SWHHP) using feedback on the existing SWHHP from Latinas residing in the community.

Phase II: Conduct a small pilot study to assess effectiveness of the adapted program (one group pre-post design, with data collected at three time points).
