Determinants of Multiple Health Risk Behaviors Among Latinos
Study Participation:
If you are eligible and choose to take part in this study, you will visit the clinic 2
times.
At the first visit (this is the same visit where you complete the in-person screening test):
- You will have your height, weight, and waistline measured.
- You will be given a smart phone to take home with you. You will answer questions on
the smart phone up to 5 times a day for 7 days. The phone will beep at random times (4
times per day) and set times (in the evening) to prompt you to answer questions about
what you are doing and your current thoughts and feelings. These questions should take
about 5-7 minutes to complete each time.
- You will be given an accelerometer (a movement meter). The accelerometer is a small
device worn on your hip that measures the amount of physical activity you do. You will
wear the accelerometer for 7 days in a row.
- You will receive training on how to use the smart phone and the accelerometer.
At the second visit, you will return the smart phone and the accelerometer.
At both study visits, you will be asked to complete questionnaires that ask about your
feelings, moods, and behaviors. You will complete 36 questionnaires at the first visit (a
total of 474 questions) and 25 questionnaires at the second visit (a total of 278
questions). These questionnaires should take about 60 to 90 minutes to complete.
Throughout the study, you will be contacted by mail, email, or telephone for reminders of
clinic visits. You will be reminded before each clinic visit. You will be asked to provide
the names and contact information for family and/or friends should the study staff have
trouble reaching you.
Length of Study:
You will be considered off study when you complete the second visit.
This is an investigational study.
Up to 225 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
