To assess the feasibility, including demand for and acceptability of a physical activity (PA) intervention among pregnant Latinas recruited at the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
Women <20 weeks gestation and self-reporting <150 minutes of PA/wk were recruited from 2 WIC locations in Southern California. The 9-wk, promotora-led intervention included 1-hour sessions and 2 walking groups/wk.
WIC was supportive of recruitment, intervention, and evaluation activities. Of an estimated pool of 525 women at <20 wks gestation, 141 expressed interest, 108 were screened for eligibility, and 21 were enrolled. Of the 21 who enrolled, 12 completed the postintervention assessment (7 in the participant group and 5 in the nonparticipant group).
Demand and acceptability will need to be improved before this intervention can be considered feasible, potentially by extending eligibility and improving access to intervention.
评估在妇女、婴儿和儿童特别补充营养计划(WIC)中招募的拉丁裔孕妇参与身体活动(PA)干预的可行性,包括需求和可接受性。
在南加州的 2 个 WIC 地点招募妊娠<20 周且自我报告每周 PA 时间<150 分钟的女性。为期 9 周、由促进者主导的干预措施包括 1 小时的课程和每周 2 次步行小组。
WIC 支持招募、干预和评估活动。在估计有<20 周妊娠的 525 名女性中,有 141 人表示有兴趣,108 人接受了资格筛选,有 21 人入组。在入组的 21 人中,有 12 人完成了干预后的评估(参与者组 7 人,非参与者组 5 人)。
在考虑该干预措施的可行性之前,需要提高需求和可接受性,可能需要扩大资格条件并改善干预措施的获取途径。
