Summary

This study is being done to answer a question on whether a Web App-based Lifestyle Physical Activity Promotion Program is effective in improving depressive symptom experience of midlife Korean American women (WPAPP-K).

Detailed Description

This study is being done to answer a question on whether a Web App-based Lifestyle Physical Activity Promotion Program is effective in improving depressive symptom experience of midlife Korean American women (WPAPP-K). Korean American midlife women tend to suffer from depressive symptoms due to their menopausal transition, cultural background, age, and gender. The WPAPP-K program that the investigators are testing is designed to help Korean American midlife women by providing information and coaching/support to increase lifestyle physical activity and subsequently improve their depressive symptom experience during the menopausal transition. The research team wants to know if the program improves depressive symptom experience of Korean American midlife women as designed.
