Study Summary

This trial will test a new intervention that could get more Latinos active in their local parks, potentially improving their health.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Latino parishioners who regularly attend one of the selected churches in Los Angeles, do not currently engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week, and have no health conditions that would prevent them from being active.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a new program linking Latino Catholic churches with local parks to boost physical activity among church members. It's a randomized trial comparing this park-church intervention against standard health education on staying active.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve promoting physical activity through educational programs and community engagement rather than medication or medical procedures, there are minimal expected side effects beyond typical exercise-related risks such as muscle strain.
