Spanish-speaking adults are less likely to meet physical activity (PA) recommendations and have higher rates of overweight/obesity compared to English-speaking adults. Thus, there is an urgent need for culturally adapted lifestyle programs that target improved PA adherence among Spanish-speakers. The overall objective is to translate and culturally adapt an existing PA support program called Move, to create Movamonos (translates to “Let’s move”) by engaging Spanish-speaking co-designers (Aim 1) and then pilot test Movamonos in a single-arm field trial (Aim 2). Consistent with Designing for Dissemination and Sustainability (D4DS) and Equity methods, two frameworks will be integrated to guide the approach: 1) the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), and 2) the Practical Robust Implementation and Sustainability Model (PRISM). Dr. Ostendorf’s long-term goal is to equitably prevent and treat obesity, by designing and disseminating theory-based, optimized lifestyle interventions that promote sustained behavior change. With guidance from her mentors, she will develop expertise in conducting rigorous clinical trials, community-engaged research, human-centered design testing, and D4DS methods. Her experience, complemented by her mentoring team and expert bilingual research team will ensure success. Completion of this project will generate critical preliminary data to support a competitive R01 to evaluate the effectiveness of Movamanos in a fully powered trial.
