Summary

The objective of the proposed study, using an experimental, two-group (n = 30 couples in each group) repeated measures design, was to pilot test the effects of the PaTH Intervention versus a usual care group in improving the following outcomes: a) physical activity and healthy eating behaviors, and b) functional capacity. The primary outcomes will be physical activity behavior (minutes per week) and eating behavior (percent saturated fat) at the 6 month time point in both the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patient and his/her partner. Secondary outcome includes functional capacity in patients and partners at 6 months.
