South Asians Active Together (SAATH) Study
October 16, 2023 updated by: Namratha Kandula, Northwestern University
A Multilevel Physical Activity Intervention for South Asian Women and Girls (SAATH)
South Asian immigrant women and girls are at increased risk for insufficient physical activity and are not being reached by current approaches to physical activity promotion.
This randomized control trial study will test the effectiveness and implementation of a multi component physical activity intervention directed at the environment, family, interpersonal and individual levels to promote physical activity among South Asian immigrant mothers and daughters.

- Having a daughter aged 11-16 years
Exclusion Criteria:
- having known medical condition that restricts ability to participate in moderate intensity Physical Activity
- Unable to complete study procedures (including not wearing accelerometer during run-in)
- Currently pregnant
- Unable to provide informed consent or assent.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention group
The intervention group will receive a 18-week in-person program.
The program includes the following components: multi family group counseling, group exercise classes, mother group discussion, daughter group discussion and Fitbit.
|
SAATH intervention is a physical activity intervention for South Asian mothers and daughters with group exercise classes and discussion groups.
|
No Intervention: Control group
The group group will receive print materials about physical activity.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Averaged daily minutes spent in moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity measured by ActiGraph accelerometers
Time Frame: The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
Moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity will be identified based on the accelerometer count cut-point for moderate intensity and daily minutes spent in moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity estimated for seven days will be averaged
|
The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Averaged daily minutes spent in walking or running behavior measured by ActiGraph accelerometers
Time Frame: The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
Walking and running behavior will be recognized using a machine learning activity recognition algorithm and daily minutes spent in walking or running behavior estimated for seven days will be averaged
|
The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
Averaged daily hours spent in sedentary behaviors measured by ActiGraph accelerometers
Time Frame: The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
Sedentary behaviors will be identified based on the accelerometer count cut-point for sedentary behaviors and daily minutes spent in sedentary behaviors estimated for seven days will be averaged
|
The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) measured by a sphygmomanometer
Time Frame: The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
Blood pressure will be measured three times while sitting down and relaxing on a chair and the last two measures will be averaged
|
The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
Self-efficacy score measured by the Exercise Confidence Survey
Time Frame: The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
The self-efficacy score will be calculated by averaging the responses (scored 1 to 5 point for the responses of strongly disagree to strongly agree) from each question item
|
The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
Self-efficacy score measured by Dishman's Barriers to Self-Efficacy questionnaire
Time Frame: The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
|
The self-efficacy score will be calculated by averaging the responses (scored 1 to 5 point; higher scores mean higher self-efficacy [a better outcome])
|
The outcome will be assessed before the intervention (week 0) and after the intervention (week 18)
