Preventative Screening and Health Coaching for Cardiovascular Disease
This study is looking at whether personalized health coaching can help reduce your risk of heart and blood vessel diseases (cardiometabolic diseases) if you live in an underserved community and face food insecurity. Researchers want to see if this coaching, which focuses on lifestyle changes, can lower your 10-year risk of heart attack or stroke, improve conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, and make healthcare more accessible. You might be able to join if you are between 40 and 75 years old, speak English or Spanish, and have at least one risk factor for cardiometabolic disease, such as high blood pressure. The study will involve 200 participants and will measure your heart disease risk score over 6 months.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with 200 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You would receive individualized health coaching during in-person events and screenings at the start, and again at 3 and 6 months. The study participation lasts for 6 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk score will be measured from enrollment to the end of study participation at 6 months.

What this trial measures
- 10 - Year Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk ScoreFrom enrollment to the end of study participation at 6 months.
Study data collected during in-person screening - occuring at the initial screening, 3 and 6 month rescreening - will be utilized to calculate the patient's 10-year Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) risk via the MD+ Calc ASCVD risk calculator from the American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC).
