Latinas report low levels of physical activity (PA) and high rates of related diseases. Existing evidence-based interventions for Latinas may need additional enhancements to help this population meet national PA guidelines. Enhancements could both increase the effectiveness and the costs of PA interventions. It is thus important to consider the costs and benefits of the different versions of these interventions, as these may influence whether the interventions are adopted and sustained on a larger scale in the future. This study describes the costs of two versions of a PA intervention (an original and a technology-enhanced version) and examines their cost effectiveness in helping sedentary Latina participants reach national PA guidelines. At the beginning of the study, none of the participants were meeting PA guidelines. More participants in the Enhanced intervention, compared to the Original intervention, were meeting guidelines both at 6 months (57% vs. 44%) and 12 months (46% vs. 36%). Costs were also higher for the Enhanced Intervention both at 6 and 12 months. Each additional person meeting guidelines in the Enhanced (vs. Original) group cost $87 at 6 months and $317 at 12 months. Given potential cost savings in medical care associated with meeting PA guidelines, these interventions could ultimately save money in addition to promoting health.
