Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Test the acceptability of a smartphone physical activity app for African American women

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Behavioral: PA4Health Open Pilot
 N/A

Detailed Description

The goal of this aim is to collect data that guide the refinement of intervention components and structure to increase appeal to AA women. Fifteen physically inactive AA women will participate in a 12-week study examining the feasibility, acceptability, and usage of the PA4Health app. They will receive a Fitbit tracker to be worn during the trial. Following the trial, participants will complete self-report measures as well as a semi-structured interview to learn about their experience in using the app, any experienced difficulties, and recommendations for improving the acceptance and usage of the app.

Intervention components: The intervention components include: tailored daily text intervention text message, educational feature, goal setting and monitoring, and an activity locator that allow participants to enter their zip code and view available resources for physical activity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. System usability scale (SUS)-- app satisfaction [12 weeks study]

    The SUS measures ability of technology software. High levels of usability and acceptability of the app will be determined by a score greater than 70 on the SUS. Information will be used for improvement of the software.

  2. Metada; collected through app system [12 weeks]

    This information will inform usage of patterns of participants, including how frequently the logged into the app system and the component of the app the more frequently or less frequently

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Accelerometer [Participants will wear this device for 7 consecutive days at baseline and at 12 weeks(end of the intervention)]

    actigraph data will be analyzed to explore potential changes over time objectively collected min/week of MVPA

  2. Fitbit data [Participants will wear this device daily during the 12-week intervention]

    Fitbit data will be explored to estimate the effect of the intervention on mean steps/week over time
