Heart Healthy Lenoir: Return of Results Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Cardiovascular Disease
Interventions
Behavioral: Return of genomic results on cardiovascular disease risk
Registration Number
NCT02208180
Lead Sponsor
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Brief Summary

The investigators are conducting a two group intervention to study to the effect of individualized heart disease genomic risk results on motivation towards diet and physical activity behaviors to reduce heart disease risk. The intervention includes provided participants with genomic and lifestyle risk estimates. Investigators will follow participants for 3 months to determine if motivation towards and engagement in diet and physical activity behaviors change.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in motivationBaseline, Post-interview, 3 months

The Prevention and Planning Behaviors Scale is a recently developed tool that provides a direct measure of degrees of influence on participants' motivation to change their health behavior in translational genomic studies. It has 23-items where participants rate themselves using a 5-point Likert scale (1=A Lot Less Motivated to 5=A Lot More Motivated).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Physical ActivityBaseline, 3 months

The 16-item RESIDE Neighborhood Physical Activity Questionnaire will be used to assess context-specific walking behavior through self-report. Participants are asked how often they walk, how long, to where, and similar questions about what other types of physical activity they might engage in.

Change in Eating HabitsBaseline, 3 months

Eating habits will be assessed using a 10-item Block questionnaire designed to capture the frequency with which participants eat particular items from different food groups. Participants will rate themselves on a 6-point scale ranging from "Less than 1 time per WEEK" to "2+ a DAY."
