Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an Internet-based behavioral intervention can increase physical activity and improve diet quality among Latina adults. The main question aims to answer is whether participants in the Internet-based behavioral intervention group increase their physical activity levels, increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables, and decrease their consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages over 12 weeks. Researchers will compare the Internet-based physical activity and healthy eating intervention to a wait-list control group (participants who do not receive any intervention until after completing the study) to see if the Internet-based behavioral intervention works to improve physical activity and diet quality. Participants who receive the Internet-based behavioral intervention receive access to the online intervention for 12 weeks, and complete assessments at baseline and week-12. Participants in the wait-list control complete the same assessments at baseline and week 12, then receive access to the online intervention for 12 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Accelerometer-measured min/week moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA)

  All participants will wear an Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer during the week prior to their baseline and week 12 assessments. The Actigraph is a device that measures movement and intensity of activity and has been validated against heart rate telemetry and total energy expenditure.

  Baseline and 12 weeks

• Consumption of fruit and vegetables

  All participants will complete the NCI Eating at America's Table All Day Fruit and Vegetable Screener at baseline and week 12. The NCI Eating at America's Table Fruit and Vegetable Screener is self-report questionnaire that assesses the frequency of usual fruit and vegetable consumption.

  Baseline and 12 weeks

• Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages

  All participants will complete the Beverage Intake Questionnaire (BEV-Q) at baseline and week 12. The BEV-Q is a self-administered, valid and reliable tool measuring the frequency and amount of beverages consumed in 19 categories of drinks, including sugar-sweetened beverages.

Interventions

Web-based physical activity and diet intervention BEHAVIORAL

Participants receive access to a theory-driven, web-based intervention for 12 weeks that provides interactive information on diet and physical activity, including goal setting, diet and activity tracking, tailored information on healthy eating and increasing exercise, and videos on topics of healthy eating and physical activity.
