Summary

This proposed longitudinal study will examine the influences of neighborhood factors and momentary contextual and psychosocial factors, which the investigators call acute precipitants, on physical activity (PA) adoption and maintenance among Pacific Islanders (PcIs). Specifically, the investigators will enroll 150 sedentary PcI adults and examine their PA adoption and maintenance based on measurements at five separate weeks during a 20-month period. The investigators will use MotionSense, an innovative and proven mHealth kit developed by team members, Global Positioning System (GPS), and ecological momentary assessment to measure PA and its key determinants. Our central hypotheses are that individual and neighborhood factors are associated with PA adoption and maintenance among previously sedentary PcIs, and that psychosocial precipitants mediate these associations.

Conditions

  • Physical Inactivity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) (shortened)

The investigators will adapt the protocol of the 'Ohana project. The 'Ohana protocol was developed based on CDC's Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) curriculum and designed to fit PcI's cultural background. It includes a 8-lesson curriculum delivered in 8 weeks (shortened from the original 16-lesson, 24-week core curriculum of DPP while retaining all original foci and behavior change strategies). Specifically, the first four lessons, delivered every week, focus on getting the participants started on increasing PA and improving diet (e.g., introduction; getting started on PA and diet; utilizing goal setting; making the process fun). The second four classes will be taught every other week and will focus on how to handle various challenges involved in maintaining healthy lifestyle behaviors. The investigators will deliver the curriculum in group settings of 15 people in a separate room in the National Tongan American Society.
