Individualized short message service (SMS; i.e., text messages) and/or phone calls (PC) in Spanish were examined as an effective interventional approach to increasing daily fruits and vegetables (F&V) and physical activity (PA) among community-dwelling Spanish-speaking Hispanics. Participants were randomized to one of three ordered groups: Control (n = 25), SMS (n = 27), or SMS + PC (n = 26). PA and F&V intake were measured at baseline and 12 weeks later, when acceptability and usefulness were evaluated. Using the Cochran-Armitage test, we found an increasing trend in the proportion of vegetable intake (p = .03) and leisure time PA (p = .004) across the interventions. Most respondents from the SMS and SMS + PC groups approved the modalities and frequency of contact and reported following the advice provided. SMS + PC was the most effective intervention to improve PA and vegetable intake among respondents. These findings support feasibility and acceptability of using remote access platforms, specifically, text and phone-based health communication strategies, with Spanish-speaking participants.

西班牙语中的个性化短消息服务（SMS；即文本消息）和/或电话（PC）被认为是一种有效的干预方法，可以增加社区西班牙人的日常水果和蔬菜（F&V）和身体活动（PA）——说西班牙裔。参与者被随机分配到三个有序组之一：对照组 ( n  = 25)、SMS ( n  = 27) 或 SMS + PC ( n  = 26)。在基线和 12 周后评估 PA 和 F&V 摄入量，评估可接受性和有用性。使用 Cochran-Armitage 检验，我们发现蔬菜摄入比例 ( p  = .03) 和闲暇时间 PA ( p = .004) 在整个干预措施中。SMS 和 SMS + PC 组的大多数受访者同意联系方式和频率，并按照所提供的建议进行报告。SMS + PC 是提高受访者 PA 和蔬菜摄入量的最有效干预措施。这些发现支持使用远程访问平台的可行性和可接受性，特别是与讲西班牙语的参与者使用基于文本和电话的健康交流策略。
