Improving the Heart Health of Home Health Aides (NCT07067398)
Improving the Cardiovascular Health of Home Health Aides
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this early-stage study is to support the heart health of home health aides, a workforce that provides care for adults at home but whose own health has been historically poor. To do this, the study will use Life's Essential 8 (LE8), a program developed by the American Heart Association (AHA) that promotes cardiovascular wellness through education and lifestyle changes. The program has been adapted specifically for home health aides and will be delivered by trained "peer coaches," who are fellow home health aides who will help guide participants through the program. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Will the LE8 intervention, which provides cardiovascular health education and support with positive thinking, be used by home health aides and do they like it? * Does the LE8 intervention actually improve home health aides' cardiovascular health after the intervention's conclusion compared to baseline? Participants will be paired with a trained peer coach and take part in the 10-week program over the course of 6 months. The program includes support for healthy behaviors and positive thinking, with the goal of making lasting improvements in cardiovascular health.
