Factors Influencing Physical Activity in Older African American Men

FUNDING SOURCE: National Institute on Aging/National Institutes of Health

TIMELINE: 2006 -2008

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Steven P. Hooker, PhD (USC PRC)

Dr. Hooker and his team will use qualitative research methods to identify barriers and facilitators to engaging in physical activity for older African American men and to broaden the understanding of age and culturally appropriate physical activity for this underserved segment of the population. Based on information obtained during the qualitative research phase, a pilot intervention will be designed and implemented to test the feasibility of increasing physical activity among older African American men.
