iMove!
The purpose of the iMove! Study is to promote physical activity among Latino and African American men and women. We want to learn the reasons why Latinos (English-speaking) and African Americans start and maintain physical activity. Participants will visit the study clinic and receive a health assessment, materials that will assist them in becoming more active, and compensation.
Participants must meet the following criteria:
-
African American or English-speaking Latino adults
-
Not regularly engaging in physical activity (< 90 minutes/week over the past 6 months)
-
25-60 years of age
-
Working telephone number & address where mail can be delivered
-
Ready and physically able to start being physically active
-
Must live in Harris County and City of Houston
