Summary

This study looks at what helps sedentary Pacific Islander adults start and keep up physical activity. Researchers will track 150 participants over 20 months using GPS, smartphone surveys, and activity monitors, and provide a culturally tailored program based on the Diabetes Prevention Program. The goal is to see how neighborhood and moment-to-moment factors influence exercise habits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A culturally adapted Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) curriculum delivered over 8 weeks
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point to better ways to help Pacific Islander adults become and stay physically active, potentially reducing diabetes and heart disease risk.
What could go wrong
The study is observational in part and relies on self-reported activity, which may not reflect true changes. Results may not apply to other groups.

Who can take part

Who is studied

This longitudinal cohort study will enroll 150 sedentary Tongan American (TA) adults (equally split between male and female) in Utah. Utah has the highest per-capita percentage of PcIs among the continental states, with a PcI population of 38,000 in 2014. TAs are the largest PcI group in Utah, accounting for 38% of the total PcI population. TAs primarily live in urban areas of Salt Lake and Utah counties, the two most populous counties in the state. The gender ratio is approximately 1 (i.e., 102 males to 100 females). About 7% of TAs hold a bachelor's degree, the lowest rate among all racial/ethnic groups. Although the majority live in relatively low income neighborhoods, over a quarter live in census tracts with poverty rate \<5% (average median household income: $92,301), suggesting good heterogeneity in their socioeconomic status. About 27% of the TA population in Utah were foreign-born.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * age 18 years of age or older (because children and adolescents are different from adults in terms of PA level, PA mechanisms, psychosocial factors, and measurement accuracy); * being Tongan American (TA); being currently sedentary which is defined as self-reported PA less than 3 days/week for less than 20 minutes/day over the last 6 month; * no underlying functional impairment; * valid home address; * functioning telephone number; * can speak, read, and write in English; * marginal or adequate health literacy. Exclusion Criteria: * currently in a physical activity program or participated in a physical activity program in the past year; * have a pacemaker or implanted cardiac device; * have any dietary/exercise restrictions or limitations, and/or co-morbid conditions that would have precluded them from fully participating in the study; * physically unable to wear equipment and provide a good reading or use a smartphone; * pregnancy or lactation; * with active diagnoses of major depression, cognitive impairment (of any etiology), or any functional impairment; or any uncontrolled medical or psychiatric problem.
