Virtual Advisors for Physical Activity Promotion in Underserved Communities
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Sedentary Lifestyle
In brief
The primary aim of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a computer-based 'virtual lay advisor' intervention relative to a proven human lay advisor/promotore intervention to promote regular walking among inactive midlife and older Latino adults. The primary analysis is a non-inferiority analysis comparing these two interventions.
