The National Institutes of Health is spending more than $400,000 sending text messages to Latino men to encourage them to exercise.
The University of California, San Diego is conducting the study, which is attempting to employ the “low-cost” strategy of using cell phones to reach Mexican-Americans.
“Mexican-American men report high rates of inac- tivity and related health conditions. The pro- posed study seeks to promote physical activity among this at-risk, understudied population by developing interactive and tailored text-mes- sages to enhance a print-based physical activity intervention for Spanish- speaking [Mexican American] MA men,” a grant for the project said. “The pro-
posed high-reach, low- cost strategy for increas- ing physical activity has great potential for adop- tion on a larger scale and thereby positively impacting public health and eliminating health disparities.”
Latino men “may have
limited access to public health interventions pro- moting physical activity,” according to the project, and there is a “dearth of studies in this area.”
“To address these rising health disparities, effec- tive interventions that leverage state-of-the-art
technology, theory, and methods are needed for [Mexican-American] MA men,” the grant said.
The project is based on a preliminary study using “culturally and linguisti- cally tailored” print cam- paigns to encourage Latino men to exercise.
