Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in motivation
Time Frame: Baseline, 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 Outcomes
- Change in Physical Activity(Baseline, 3 months)
- Change in Eating Habits(Baseline, 3 months)
