ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new web-based program called the Web-App Based Lifestyle Physical Activity Promotion Program (WPAPP). It aims to help middle-aged Latinas increase their physical activity levels and reduce symptoms of depression. The program was originally developed for Korean American women and is now being tested to see how well it works for Latina women aged 40 to 60. Participants will use the app on their smartphones, tablets, or computers to track their activities and complete online surveys.

To be eligible for the study, women need to be between 40 and 60 years old, identify as Latina or Hispanic, and be able to read and write in either English or Spanish. They must also live in the United States and be comfortable using technology. However, women who are pregnant, or at high risk for certain health issues, like heart or joint problems, cannot participate. The study is currently not recruiting participants, but those who join can expect to engage with the app and provide feedback on their experience while potentially improving their health and well-being.
