Study Summary

This trial will test an intervention designed to promote moderate-intensity physical activity, with the goal of improving cardiovascular health, sleep and cognitive function.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Spanish-speaking Latinos aged 55 or older with mild cognitive impairment, who lead a sedentary lifestyle (less than 150 minutes of activity per week). They must be able to consent and attend sessions, have access to a phone, and score between 23-26 on the MoCA test. Those with mobility disabilities or musculoskeletal issues preventing moderate physical activity cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The Tiempo Juntos Intervention aims to encourage moderate-intensity physical activity among participants. The study will also explore how this intervention affects cardiovascular health, sleep quality, and cognitive function over one year with assessments at baseline, then at 3, 6, and 12 months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention promotes physical activity rather than medication use, side effects may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness or fatigue. However specific side effects are not detailed in the provided information.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Tiempo Juntos InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
If assigned to this group, participants will take part in weekly 1-hour group sessions twice a week for 3 months. The sessions will be with a trained Community Health Worker that will involve group (5-6 participants) moderate-intensity walking. They will take place at community partner sites during times when all participants can attend. In case of adverse weather, indoor locations are available through community partners. Walks will reflect participant goals and abilities, initially lasting 10 minutes, with 5-minute stretching "warm-up" and 5-minute "cool down" exercises, for a total of 20 minutes. Walk duration will increase by 5 minutes/week to at least 30 minutes with program content delivery time decreasing to accommodate increased walk times within the 1-hour session. Upon completing the 3 months of physical activity sessions, for the next 3 months, they will receive motivational "booster" sessions delivered every other week via phone calls/text messaging.
Group II: Attention ControlActive Control1 Intervention
If assigned to this group, participants will take part in 1-hour group (5-6 participants) sessions delivered twice a week for 3 months. The sessions will be with a trained Community Health Worker or qualified staff that will involve reviewing education topics in Spanish related to adult health. They will take place at community partner sites or remotely during times when all participants can attend. In case of adverse weather, indoor locations, or remote options will be available. Upon completing the 3 months of education sessions, for the next 3 months, they will receive educational "booster" sessions delivered every other week via phone calls/text messaging.
