ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether an online program can help Latina women become more active and eat healthier. The researchers want to see if participants who take part in this Internet-based program will exercise more, eat more fruits and vegetables, and cut down on sugary drinks over a 12-week period. To find out if the program is effective, they will compare those who participate in the program to a control group that will not receive any intervention until after the study is complete.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old, identify as Hispanic or Latino, and report that they don’t get enough physical activity or eat enough fruits and vegetables. They should also have access to the Internet and not have health conditions that could make exercise or dietary changes unsafe. If you join the study, you will have access to the online program for 12 weeks and complete assessments at the start and end of the trial to see how your activity and diet have changed. It's a great opportunity to improve your health with support from the program!
