Conmigo is a 12-week mother-daughter health and physical activity intervention for preadolescent Latinas (girls aged 8-11) and their moms. Dyads engage in weekly sessions that include culturally tailored didactic presentations, discussions, and interactive activities exploring topics of PA, nutrition, family communication, parenting, social media, and others. Each session includes 30 minutes of group exercise (strength training and cardiovascular exercises) and includes “homework” to complete PA challenges and meet SMART goals.
An R21 study (R21HD100776) from 2020-2022 tested the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of the intervention as delivered online via Zoom.
We are currently pilot-testing the feasibility and outcomes of the intervention delivered in person in partnership with schools and the YMCA.
