简要总结
The study is a randomized pilot trial of a health promotion intervention in the prevention of anxiety and depression in older Hispanics.
详细描述
Eligible participants will be randomized to either the Happy Older Latinos are Active (HOLA) intervention or a psychoeducation condition. Participants randomized to HOLA will participate in a group exercise, 3 times a week, for 16 weeks. The exercise is a moderate intensity walk at a centrally located park in Miami-Dade county and will last for an hour (10 minute warmup/stretching, 30 minute walk, 5 minute cool down). Groups will consist of 6 participants and be led by a community health worker. During the cool down phase, participants will plan a pleasant event to be done in between sessions. Participants randomized to the psychoeducation component will receive a fotonovela and will meet once a month after they receive the fotonovela to discuss their thoughts on the materials they received. These discussion groups will last one hour and will consist of 10 participants. A total of 60 participants will be randomized (30 to HOLA, 30 to fotonovela). Assessments will be conducted at baseline, post intervention, 6 months post-intervention, and 12 months post-intervention.
