Abstract
Participants (
N
= 357) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions: lay health advisor (
promotora
) plus tailored print materials, tailored print materials only (tailored), or off-the-shelf print materials (control). The primary outcomes were calories from fat and daily grams of fiber. Secondary outcomes included total energy intake, total and saturated fat intake, and total carbohydrates. Adjusted for baseline values, calories from fat were 29%, 30%, and 30% for the
promotora
, tailored, and control conditions, respectively, and grams of fiber consumed were 16 g, 17 g, and 16g. Significant Condition × Time interactions were not observed between baseline and 12-weeks postintervention. The LHA condition achieved significantly lower levels of energy intake, total fat and saturated fat, and total carbohydrates. The relative superiority of the
promotora
condition may derive from the personal touch achieved in the face-to-face interactions or from the women's use of print materials under the
promotora
's guidance.
