About this trial

In this randomized controlled trial, study staff will randomize 130 Hispanic/Latino adults without dementia and over age 55 from Southern California and from Kaiser Permanente Washington (State) to either the culturally adapted De Pie physical activity intervention or an active comparison program focusing on general brain health topics. The purpose of this study is to determine if 12 weeks of the culturally adapted and fully remote De Pie y a Movernos intervention improves self-efficacy, habit strength, social support, and enjoyment for physical activity (PA), thus promoting adherence to moderate-intensity physical activity (MIPA) guidelines (150 minutes/week).

Treatments tested in this trial

  • De Pie Intervention

    Behavioral

    Participants are guided by a health coach trained in motivational interviewing through 6 biweekly phone sessions. Each session involves reviewing goals and problem-solving barriers from the prior 2 weeks experience; covering a topic related to Step 1 goals (or Step 2 goals if they pass the safety assessment) such as how to enjoy movement, social support, and using your surroundings; and setting goals and an action plan for the following two weeks.

  • Active Comparison Group: Healthy Actions And Lifestyles To Avoid Dementia (HALT-AD)

    Other intervention

    Those in the active comparison program will receive no additional health coaching sessions. They will work through the HALT-AD content at their own pace, setting goals in the online platform as they go.
