To evaluate a faith-based intervention (“Sisters in Motion”) intended to increase walking among older, sedentary African American women. RCT, using within-church randomization. Three Los Angeles churches. Sixty-two African American women >60 years who reported being active <30 minutes 3×/week and walked <35,000 steps/week as measured by a baseline pedometer reading. Intervention participants received a multi-component curriculum including Scripture readings, prayer, goal-setting, a community resource guide, and walking competitions. Both intervention and control participants participated in physical activity sessions. The primary outcome was change in weekly steps walked as measured by pedometer. Secondary outcomes included change in systolic blood pressure (SBP). Outcomes were assessed at baseline and 6 months post intervention. Eighty-five percent of participants attended at least 6 of 8 sessions. Intervention participants averaged 12,727 steps per week at baseline, compared to 13,089 steps among controls. Mean baseline SBP was 156 mmHg for intervention participants and 147 mmHg among controls (p=0.10). At 6 months, intervention participants had increased their weekly steps by 9,883 on average, compared to an increase of 2,426 for controls (p=0.016); SBP decreased on average by 12.5 mmHg among intervention participants and only 1.5 mmHg among controls (p=0.007). The Sisters in Motion intervention led to an increase in walking and a decrease in SBP at 6 months. This is the first RCT of a faith-based physical activity program to increase physical activity among older African American women, and represents an attractive approach to stimulate lifestyle change within this population.
