Telehealth and Shared Decision-Making for Preventative Medicine in Louisiana
This study is looking at how different telehealth (healthcare services delivered remotely) programs can help people in Louisiana prevent common health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). You would be part of a program led by a clinical pharmacist for 12-18 months. One group will receive general education on wellness, focusing on nutrition, work-life balance, and mental health. The other group will get personalized strategies for preventing diseases, including tailored advice on diet, exercise, and medication. The study aims to see if these programs encourage people to get screened for these conditions and adopt healthier habits. We are looking for 360 adults aged 18-55 who can speak English, work in specific industries (like healthcare, education, or food service), and can use telehealth technology. The study status is currently unclear.
