PREVENT Tool for Cardiovascular Health in Rural Primary Care
This study is testing a new digital health tool called PREVENT. PREVENT is designed to help people who are overweight or obese make healthier choices about physical activity and food. The study aims to see if PREVENT can improve how healthcare teams provide advice and support to patients, and if it helps patients change their health behaviors. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 64 years old, have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, and receive care from Missouri Highlands Healthcare. The researchers will measure how confident healthcare team members feel about providing counseling and the quality of that counseling. The study is currently recruiting 100 participants, but the recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Healthcare team member confidencebaseline, at study completion (3 years)
A survey (4-questions) will assess provider's confidence in delivering health behavior counseling and discussing cardiovascular health with patients. Questions are asked on a 5-point Likert scale (range: 4-20) with a higher score indicating greater satisfaction. Change in confidence from baseline to post-study will be compared in intervention clinics versus control clinics.
- Quality counselingWithin 48 hours of clinic visit
A 12 question survey will ask patients 1) if they have been counseled on 10 topics Life's Essential 8 (obesity, blood pressure, physical activity, food intake, smoking, sleep, cholesterol, and diabetes), and two distractor topics (flu vaccination and seat belt use); 2) if they received goals for healthy eating and/or physical activity; and 3) if they received resources to support their health. Discussion of physical activity and/or food intake will satisfy that health behavior counseling was delivered. Yes' to physical activity or food intake counseling and 'yes' to receipt of tailored goals and/or resources will satisfy the 'quality behavioral counseling' outcome.
