 The primary PA outcome is minutes of moderatevigorous physical activity MVPA per week, as measured by the Active Australia Questionnaire, with validation by accelerometers worn by all subjects. Condition differences in the initiation of PA will be tested at 6 and 12 months post-baseline. Key psychosocial, physiological, and cultural factors will be tested as mediators or moderators of PA, for example: self-efficacy, social support, processes of change, ethnicity, BMI, and cultural values. This study will serve as a model for the design and implementation of PA interventions for at-risk ethnic minority postpartum women.
