Physical Activity Program for Cardiac Health Among Older African American Populations

NCT04866732 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, and older African Americans (AAs) living in rural areas are disproportionately affected by this healthcare problem. The investigators propose conducting a mixed-methods study to gain information about CVD-related knowledge, perceptions regarding CVD-related healthcare needs, preferences and access barriers, and cultural aspects within this population. The information will be used in tailoring an existing intervention to meet those needs and preferences and evaluate its feasibility among older AAs living in rural Alabama. This study will lay a foundation for developing a federal grant application and a line of independent research by this early-stage investigator.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Physical Activity Cardiac Health Program

The investigators anticipate that the physical activity program will include the following components: a) physical activity component - the investigators propose an incremental physical activity component whereby participants will gradually increase their physical activity ( duration of walk) from baseline to the end of the study; b) weekly informational sessions on various topics related to Cardiovascular disease risk factors prevention; c) daily diary, which will be used to document record about any barriers for completing various components of the intervention; d) problem-solving sessions whereby participants will meet once a week with the investigators to talk about the barriers and facilitators of their weekly activity and any adherence issues.
