Steps Toward Adapting Physical Activity Guidelines for the Lower Mississippi Delta Population

Completed · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Physical Inactivity

In brief

This feasibility study specifically addresses the issue of adapting US dietary guidelines physical activity recommendations to the population of the Lower Mississippi Delta. The hypothesis is that including a pedometer as a self-monitoring tool as part of adapted physical activity guidelines will result in greater immediate increases in physical activity (as monitored by an accelerometer) than an education program alone.
