研究概览
简要总结
The goal of this research study is to learn if a motivation and problem solving (MAPS) program can help improve diet and levels of physical activity in African Americans who are overweight.
详细描述
Day 1 Study Visit:
If you are found eligible to take part in this study, the following tests and procedures will be performed on Day 1 (the same day you complete the screening tests and sign this consent form):
- You will complete a computer-based survey about your mood, diet, and physical activity. The survey should take about 90 minutes total to complete.
- Your blood pressure will be measured.
- Your height, weight, and waistline will be measured. To measure your waistline accurately, you may be asked to lift your shirt to expose your stomach area and to lower your pants to expose your mid-hip area. Waistline measurements will only take about 10 minutes to complete and will be performed in a private area.
- Your non-fasting blood glucose and cholesterol levels will be measured (with 2 small finger pricks).
- You will be asked to provide a 7-day record of your physical activity using a small device called an accelerometer. The accelerometer will be worn on your hip and measures the amount of physical activity you do. You will be given a prepaid envelope to return the accelerometer to the study staff.
Study Groups and Study Procedures:
At the Day 1 study visit, you will be randomly assigned (as in the flip of a coin) into 1 of 2 study groups.
