Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

SCOPP-CW

The proposed intervention integrates the Social Cognitive Theory, use of everyday technology (WeChat), and an adaptation of an evidence-based program that is tailored to the behavior patterns, preferences, and cultures of premenopausal Chinese American women. The intervention includes three components: (1) daily tracking of physical activities, (2) 12 weekly educational modules on healthy lifestyle, physical activity, and breast cancer prevention, and (3) 6 bi-weekly tailored messages to include tips for lifestyle modification, stress management, and healthy weight maintenance based on the user's personal characteristics and behavior patterns.

BEHAVIORAL

Control

This is the comparative/control group for the intervention. The control group receives daily tracking of physical activity and 12 weekly non-tailored educational information on general health topics.
