Observational Study on Neighborhood Stress and Heart Health in Women
This observational study is looking at how where you live might affect your heart health. Researchers want to understand if stress from your neighborhood environment, like poverty or crime, can impact your risk for heart disease. They are also looking at how women use their neighborhoods for exercise. This study will measure stress-related brain activity in healthy women between 19 and 45 years old. Participants will be healthy White or Black women who live in Washington, D.C. The main goal is to see if living in certain neighborhoods is linked to higher levels of stress-related brain activity. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and aims to enroll 250 women.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, not testing a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 250 healthy women.
- What's involved
- Participants may stay at the NIH Clinical Center overnight for a 2-day visit. You will use accelerometers, GPS, and a smartphone survey.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Stress-related neural activity will be measured at 1 month.
