Hi all, second request for this study, looking for Laotian Women 40-60... Thank you Dara<<I am Wa Cheng Chan, a student at the University of Texas at Austin. I am working as a research assistant under Dr. Eun-Ok Im, a nursing researcher at the university.Your organization serves mainly Laotian Americans, and we believe... that female members in your community would like to participate in and will benefit from participating in the following NIH-funded study (R01 study 1R01NR010568-01). Dr. Im is conducting an Internet study investigating attitudes towards physical activity among middle-aged women (40-60 Y/O) of multiple ethnic groups. Asian-American women’s participation is an integral part of our study. We are cordially inviting you to help us announce this study by posting the following link (http://mapa.nur.utexas.edu/MAPA/) on your website or forwarding this message to your members. We have a template for the announcement at the bottom of this message. I really appreciate your help. If an announcement fee is required, please provide us with related information. The study is an Internet survey, a questionnaire that asks participants about their physical activity. Each participant will be reimbursed with a gift certificate of USD$10 per Internet survey.The survey will begin by asking each participant a series of eligibility questions. We are looking for participants with specific characteristics. If the sampling quota for a specific group is reached, the participant will receive a message that states so. Below is some background information and study announcement of this study.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about our study. Thank you in advance for your help. Yours sincerely,

E-mail: wacheng.chan@yahoo.comBackground informationeMAPA is a NIH/NINR funded study (1R01NR010568-01) entitled "Ethnic Specific Midlife Women's Attitudes Toward Physical Activity".The changing racial and ethnic makeup of the U.S. will require health professionals to practice with cultural competence in areas such as promotion of physical activity, where cultural beliefs may mediate health promotion behaviors. Although the benefits of physical activity are now widely accepted, midlife women, especially ethnic minority women, have low participation rates in physical activity, and prevalence rates of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hypertension, and all-cause mortality among ethnic minority women (that can be effectively reduced by increasing physical activity) have been reported to be much higher than those of White midlife women. A plausible reason for the low participation rate is that the women's ethnic-specific attitudes toward physical activity have rarely been incorporated into relevant interventions. The purpose of this study is to explore attitudes of midlife women from four ethnic groups [Hispanic, Non-Hispanic (N-H) White, N-H African Americans, and N-H Asians] toward physical activity while considering the relationships between their attitudes and their actual participation in physical activity within the ethnic-specific contexts of their daily lives. Data will be gathered via Internet survey and ethnic- specific online forums to allow for a national sample. Study announcementEun-Ok Im, PhD, MPH, RN, CNS, FAAN, School of Nursing, The University of Texas at Austin and her colleagues are conducting a study to explore ethnic differences in midlife women's attitudes toward physical activity.
You are eligible to participate in this study if you are a midlife woman aged 40 to 60 years old who does not have any mobility problems; who can read and write English; who is online; and whose self-reported ethnic identity is Hispanic, non-Hispanic (N-H) White, N-H African American, or N-H Asian.
Data will be collected through an Internet survey among 500 midlife women in the U.S. starting Feb. 1, 2008 and ending May 21, 2011.
Your involvement will consist of about 30 minutes to complete the Internet survey questionnaire. You will be reimbursed with a 10 dollar gift certificate for filling out the Internet survey. For more information and to begin the survey, please visit our project website (http://mapa.nur.utexas.edu/MAPA/) and/or contact us.
