Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies how well an evidence-based exercise and nutrition program adapted for Latinas works in improving physical activity and dietary behavior in non-active, overweight, or obese rural Latinas. An exercise and nutrition program may reduce the risk for developing certain cancers, obesity, and chronic health conditions in Latinas who are non-active, overweight, or obese.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Adapt an effective evidence-based exercise and nutrition program to meet the needs of rural Latinas. II. Implement the adapted program in a rural Latina population. III. Evaluate feasibility and potential to improve physical activity and dietary behavior of the adapted program in a rural Latina population. OUTLINE: Phase I: Create a community advisory board to adapt Strong Women Healthy Hearts Program (SWHHP) using feedback on the existing SWHHP from Latinas residing in the community. Phase II: Conduct a small pilot study to assess effectiveness of the adapted program (one group pre-post design, with data collected at three time points). INTERVENTION GROUP: Participants undergo instructor-led exercise and nutrition education classes for 60 minutes each twice a week for 12 weeks.
