Brief summary
This study is a randomized, single-blind, controlled trial that will test a multilevel intervention, Tiempo Juntos para la Salud, (Time Together for Health) designed to promote moderate-intensity physical activity; theoretically grounded mediators; and secondary outcomes of cardiovascular health, sleep and cognitive function. Participants will have 4 visits over a year long period. Data collection will occur at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months among 216 Spanish language-dominant Latinos aged 55 and older with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) \[Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score 23 to 26 for Latino populations\].
Interventions
BEHAVIORALTiempo Juntos 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. 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.
