PROMOTING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG LATINAS IN FAITH BASED SETTINGS: ENHANCING THE ORGANIZATION Elva M. Arredondo, Ph.D. Jessica Haughton, MPH, MA Faith in Action Faith in Action ( Fe en Accin ) was a two-group randomized controlled trial
Faith in Action
- Faith in Action (Fe en Acción) was a two-group randomized
controlled trial that intervened at multiple levels to increase physical activity among churchgoing Latinas.
- Church members (promotoras) were hired and trained to
implement a physical activity intervention in their churches and nearby communities.
- Based on Social Cognitive Theory and Social Ecological
Framework.

1Mixed effects or generalized linear mixed models were used to adjust for the clustering effects of churches and to account for repeated measures over M2 and M3. If the time by
condition interaction term was not significant, the term was dropped and the condition main effect was tested. All analyses were adjusted for the baseline measure of the outcome, age, marital status, employment and education. 2 Negative binomial error distribution. Results are shown in logged units. 3 Binomial error distribution (Logistic model)
Next steps?
- Consider factors that influence sustainability
- Consider organizational level factors that will lead to
greater impact (reach)
- Consider dissemination and scale-up
- --Enhancing the organization will impact all three

Specific Aims for Implementation Study (draft)
Aim 1 Aim 1. Examine pre-implementation strategies of an organizational-enhanced EBI promoting PA among Catholic and non-Catholic (Evangelical) churches. We will use the consolidated framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to inform the development of the organizational enhanced PA intervention and conduct semi- structured interviews and surveys with church leadership to adapt the current EBI to non-Catholic denominations (e.g., Evangelical). Also, we will identify program champions, develop the technical support manual, and church leadership training. Furthermore, we will identify factors associated with organizational readiness and program
- sustainability. And, we will explore partnering with community organizations (e.g., health departments,
kinesiology departments, YMCA) that may support program activities. Primary Implementation Aim Aim 2 Aim 2. Facilitate implementation of an organizational enhanced-EBI promoting PA among Catholic and non-Catholic (e.g., Evangelical) churches. We will engage church leadership and promotoras to facilitate its implementation, adoption, and delivery with strong fidelity, and sustain its use for 10 months following the active implementation phase. We will use mixed methods approach to examine barriers and facilitators to adoption, fidelity and sustainability. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that churches that have greater church leadership engagement will have lower barriers to adoption, greater fidelity and sustainability compared to the churches that have lower church leadership engagement. Primary Intervention Effectiveness Aim Aim 3 Aim 3. Test the effectiveness of an organizational-enhanced EBI on the individual (e.g., PA levels), social (e.g., social cohesion), organizational (e.g., leadership support, presence of a health ministry), and community (e.g., perceived safety) levels in the implementation of the intervention. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that churches that have greater church leadership engagement will have greater physical activity changes, greater social cohesion, leadership engagement, and community engagement.
Level Intervention strategy Intervention outcome
Individual Motivational interviewing calls Program satisfaction/ number of calls completed Health handouts Knowledge/ number of handouts distributed PA classes MVPA (accelerometer, self-report) Social Motivational Interviewing calls Increased motivation Noche familiar gatherings Attendance and participation Organizational Signed MOU Readiness/ commitment Health ministry Does one exist? Promotoras’ standing meeting with leaders Number of meetings Role modeling/ program support Involvement of church leader(s) Promote program from pulpit Number of promotions Bulletin advertising (branding) Number of times in bulletin Promotora network events Number of events and attendance Challenges across church sites Number of events
Intervention effectiveness outcome = increased PA

Innovation
Organizational supported interventions
- Fe did not engage the church leadership; we will learn ways of effectively
engage the church leadership
Examine the sustainability
- Evaluate the extent to which the organizational level factors facilitate
sustainability; this will inform a follow up implementation trial which will lead to a dissemination trial.
Examine the adoption of the organizational enhanced EBI among non Catholic denominations
- In Fe, we focused on Catholic churches so adapting the programs to other
- rganizations will increase its impact.
Next step: Implementation study
Formative phase: interview church leaders, promotoras and participants Implementation study Hybrid Type II Implementation study (Hybrid Type III) Dissemination study

Questions to consider
- Is enhancing the organizational level innovative enough?
- Should we add another innovation aspect like examining social
