Summary

Despite numerous interventions designed to increase physical activity, few are specifically tailored to Latinas, a population where higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases are present. This proposed smartphone app will use location-based services to connect Latinas with one another in order to improve walking habits by increasing social support and decreasing perceived barriers, both of which are known to play a role in physical activity behaviors. In this Phase I research, surveys of potential end-users will determine interest in the app and focus groups will help shape a prototype of the app, which will be developed and tested to determine feasibility and functionality for a randomized Phase II intervention.
