No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Low physical activity levels contribute to African American men experiencing health disparities across a number of chronic diseases. Studies have been effective in increasing physical activity levels in African American men; but few have targeted maintenance of behavior change and none have utilized emerging technologies. The purpose of the current study is to further develop a mobile phone application for African American men that will help them initiate and maintain their physical activity levels.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Focus Groups to Refine MobileMen App Content

Participants are shown a clickable wireframe of the proposed new app features, including competition, animated badges, leaderboard, and incentives. Focus group members discuss perceptions, ease of use, and interest in the app design/features and identified additional or unnecessary features for adopting and maintaining physical activity (PA).

BEHAVIORAL

Beta testing of MobileMen App Prototype

Project staff present the clickable wireframe prototype and have men navigate and test features using a structured script. Staff track participant responses in notes, as well as through both recording via a side profile and the device screen. At the conclusion of the session, participants complete surveys measuring satisfaction, helpfulness, and usability.
