Caminamos: A Smartphone App for Latinas to Connect With Walking Partners
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT03854916
Purpose
Despite numerous interventions designed to increase physical activity, few are specifically
tailored to Latinas, a population where higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic
diseases are present. This proposed smartphone app, ¡Caminemos Juntas!, will use
location-based services to connect Latinas with one another in order to improve walking
habits by increasing social support and decreasing perceived barriers, both of which are
known to play a role in physical activity behaviors. Through a randomized
comparative-effectiveness trial, this Phase II project will test the effectiveness of a
smartphone application for improving physical activity among Latinas when providing them with
real-time opportunities to connect socially with the goal of walking.
