We explored the attitudes of women at midlife to web-based interventions for promoting physical activity. 145 women volunteered to participate in one of four online forums. The forums were for four major racial/ethnic groups. 90 volunteers were recruited for the online forums (29 Whites, 23 Hispanics, 21 African Americans, and 17 Asians). Two sets of topics on attitudes to physical activity and racial/ethnic contexts were used. Each topic had some introductory questions and related prompts, and these were posted on the online forum sites in a serial fashion during the six-month period. We used a thematic analysis. Four major themes emerged: (1) 'a matter of the source of the information'; (2) 'I can pace myself'; (3) 'lack of interpersonal interactions'; and (4) 'culture-specificity and low cost.' The women in all ethnic groups thought that the source of the information was much more important than the medium of the information (e.g. web-based, booklet or face-to-face). They liked the self-controllability in web-based interventions. They preferred web-based interventions to other types of interventions because of easy accessibility, but they were concerned about lack of interpersonal interaction. None of the White or African American women indicated the need for culture-specificity in web-based interventions, but Hispanic and Asian women indicated that culture-specific interventions should be provided. Web-based interventions appear to have several advantages over conventional approaches to promoting physical activity.

:我们探讨了中年妇女对基于网络的干预以促进体力活动的态度。 145名妇女自愿参加了四个在线论坛之一。该论坛是针对四个主要的种族/族裔群体的。招募了90位志愿者参加在线论坛(29位白人,23位西班牙裔,21位非裔美国人和17位亚裔)。使用了关于体育活动态度和种族/种族背景的两组主题。每个主题都有一些介绍性问题和相关提示,并且在六个月内以串行方式在网上论坛站点上发布了这些问题。我们使用了主题分析。出现了四个主要主题:(1)“信息来源的问题”; (2)“我可以自己调整自己的步伐”; (3)“缺乏人际交往”; (4)“文化专用性和低成本”。所有种族的妇女都认为,信息的来源比信息的媒介(例如基于网络的,小册子或面对面的)重要得多。他们喜欢基于网络的干预中的自我控制能力。由于易于访问,他们更喜欢基于Web的干预措施,而不是其他类型的干预措施,但是他们担心缺乏人际互动。白人或非裔美国妇女都没有表示需要在基于网络的干预措施中采用特定文化的干预措施,但拉美裔和亚洲妇女表示应提供针对特定文化的干预措施。与传统的促进身体活动的方法相比,基于Web的干预措施似乎具有一些优势。
