About this study

The purpose of this study is to establish the acceptability and feasibility of a culturally relevant, theory-based smartphone-delivered physical activity intervention among African American women aged 50-65 years.

Read the detailed description

This study will establish the acceptability and feasibility of a culturally relevant, theory-based smartphone-delivered physical activity intervention among African American women aged 50-65 years. To accomplish this, we will deliver our previously developed Smart Walk physical activity intervention, originally developed for African American women aged 24-50 years old, to 20 sedentary and obese African American women aged 50 to 65. We will collect data on the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention, as well as areas of intervention refinement to enhance the social, cultural, and behavioral relevance of the intervention for women in this age group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Acceptability and Feasibility: Treatment Acceptance

    Treatment acceptance will be assessed via a post-intervention treatment acceptance survey and qualitative data from a post-intervention focus group.

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Acceptability and Feasibility: Number of participants who complete 4-month follow-up assessments

    Number of participants who complete 4-month follow-up assessment

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Changes in Objectively-measured Physical Activity

    Pre-post intervention changes in physical activity measured by accelerometers

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Changes in self-reported Physical Activity

    Pre-post intervention changes in self-reported physical activity as measured by the REGICOR questionnaire

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Changes in Exercise Self-efficacy

    Pre-post intervention changes in exercise self-efficacy. Assessed by the Exercise Confidence Survey (Sallis, 1988).

    Measured: 4-months

  4. Changes in Outcome Expectations for Exercise

    Pre-post intervention changes in outcome expectations for exercise; assessed by the Outcome Expectation Scale for Exercise (Resnick, 2000

    Measured: 4-months

  5. Changes in Physical Activity Self-regulation

    Pre-post intervention changes in self-regulation for physical activity; assessed by the Self-Regulation Scale from the Health Beliefs Survey (Anderson, 2010)

    Measured: 4-months

  6. Changes in Social Support for Exercise

    Pre-post intervention changes in social support for exercise; assessed by the Social Support for Exercise Survey (Sallis,1987)

    Measured: 4-months

  7. Changes in Physical Activity Knowledge

    Pre-post intervention changes in knowledge of the national physical activity guidelines; assessed by a 6 item scale developed by study authors

    Measured: 4-months

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acceptability and Feasibility: Treatment Acceptance (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04073355, which also lists 1 linked publication.
