Healthy Hearts Family Program for Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Hispanic Families
This study is testing a program called the Healthy Hearts Family Program to see if it can help reduce risk factors for heart and blood vessel diseases (cardiovascular diseases) and metabolic syndrome in Hispanic families in northern Colorado. The program involves a 6-week series of classes, along with health screenings at the beginning, 3 months, and 6 months. Researchers will look at changes in daily steps, physical activity levels, and blood pressure to see how well the program works. You can join if at least one family member identifies as Hispanic and is at least 13 years old. The study aims to enroll 80 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 80 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- Participants will attend a baseline health screening, a 6-week series of weekly classes, and follow-up screenings at 3 and 6 months. You will also need to wear a Fitbit device daily for 6 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will have follow-up health and knowledge screenings at 3 and 6 months after the program starts.
