What this study is about

Poor heart health puts Black women at risk for a shorter life with more illness than people of any other non-indigenous racial group. We will refine and conduct a randomized, wait-list controlled trial of Inspire HER (a heart health lifestyle intervention for Black women that provides health education, physical activity, and social resources). We will also compare Inspire HER and Black Impact (a heart health intervention for Black men) data to study how women and men respond differently to stress. This trial aligns with American Heart Association's pledge to address heart health equity through new interventions that consider the person and the circumstances with which they live.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Treatments and study arms

Inspire HER Intervention

Behavioral

The Black Impact intervention is an academic-community-government partnership adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program and American Heart Association Check, Change, Control programs based on stakeholder feedback and to afford incorporation of additional evidence-based strategies for influencing target outcomes. The intervention is a 24-week community-based lifestyle intervention to improve cardiovascular health among Black men. Each participant will be assigned to a group with \>5 participants based on participant proximity to a central community meeting location. Each team will be guided weekly by a health coach who delivers content and coaching around the lifestyle intervention modeled on the diabetes prevention program and check, change, control blood pressure program, a community health worker who helps to address social needs and connects participants to primary care services, and a trainer who leads physical activity. Teams meet for 90 minutes per week.

Primary outcomes

Feasibility (Preliminary Effect on PREVENT Score)24 weeks

The primary outcome for the randomized controlled trial is change in cardiovascular risk as defined by PREVENT Score (a 10-year risk estimator of cardiovascular events for individuals 30-79 years of age; measure utilizes sex, age, cholesterol blood pressure, body mass index, glomerular filtration rate, diabetes, smoking status, anti-hypertensive medication, lipid-lowering medication, urine creatinine, hemoglobin A1C, and social deprivation index). PREVENT score ranges from low (\<5%) to high (\>20%) risk with low risk being better. Linear mixed effects models with random intercepts will evaluate the change from baseline to 24 weeks in primary (PREVENT score). These models will assess differences between waitlist control and intervention participants using an interaction between time and treatment indicator. We will also evaluate qualitative exit (focus group) survey data to understand p…

Feasibility (Demand or Use of Intervention)24 weeks

Demand will be assessed by percent recruited of number contacted, participant self-rating of participation, percent using information at home. These data will be obtained from study records and exit survey (focus group) responses.

Feasibility (Acceptability or Participant Reaction to Intervention)24 weeks

Acceptability will be assessed by participant satisfaction with the intervention and participant attendance, perceptions of usefulness, and plans/real change of behavior to apply health promotion strategies. These data will be obtained by study records and exit (focus group) surveys.

Feasibility (Implementation or Intervention FIdelity)24 weeks

Implementation will be assessed using the Inspire HER curriculum and participant opinions of how the intervention was administered. These data will be obtained via study records and exit (focus group) surveys.

Feasibility (Practicality or Efficiency of Resource Allocation)24 weeks

Practicality will be assessed using intervention cost per participant and identifying any revenue/savings. These data will be obtained by evaluating grant budgetary documentation.
