Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the adapted Strong Hearts SH intervention to improve weight status American Heart Associations Lifes Essential 8 AHA Essential 8 and health behaviors among BlackAfrican American andor HispanicLatinx urban residents with overweight or obesity
Detailed Description:
Cultural adaptation of effective health behavior interventions holds the potential to improve health behaviors and ultimately health outcomes among underserved populations The Strong Hearts SH Urban Intervention will adapt the existing SH curriculum for delivery in urban Dallas communities to improve weight status and Lifes Essential 8 score for ideal cardiovascular health Despite declines in heart disease mortality in the United States since 2000 it remains the leading cause of mortality in both men and women-accounting for about one-third of all deaths in the US Costs related to cardiovascular disease CVD place a substantial financial burden on the health care system accounting for an estimated 320 billion in 2016 Although most obesity or CVD prevention programs target only the individual level the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes that health is affected by factors at multiple levels individual eg behaviors knowledge attitudes skills psychological factors social eg influences from ones social network on health-related behaviors and environmental eg safe places to walk food choices at workplaces availability of affordable fruits and vegetables and recommends integrating approaches to make changes beyond the individual level to support long-term sustainable behavior change Providing individuals with the motivation skills and opportunity to change behaviors may be less effective if their social or community environment makes it difficult to adopt or maintain these behaviors
SH is a multilevel multicomponent community-based program in which an experiential learning focus is combined with social and environmental components including civic engagement activities related to local resource awareness and enhancement There is limited knowledge about how programs and services can move beyond commonly used individual-level approaches which have limitations in terms of cost impact reach and sustainability to effectively reduce CVD health disparities using an integrated multi-level community-engaged approach This pilot study will provide needed data on the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of such approaches in urban and underserved communities
