The BASIC-S Feasibility Study for Vascular Risk Reduction (NCT07755631)
Piloting an Integrated Lifestyle Intervention for Vascular Risk Reduction: The BASIC-S Feasibility Study
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Vascular risk factors drive stroke, heart disease, and dementia, but translating lifestyle guidelines into routine clinical care remains challenging. To address this, we developed BASIC-S (Blood Pressure, Activity, Sleep, Interaction, Consumption, and Support), a framework targeting Blood pressure, Activity, Sleep, Interaction (socially), Consumption (nutrition), and Support using partner support and motivational interviewing. This individual-focused approach bypasses the logistical and financial barriers of complex clinical interventions by using sustained behavioral science to support gradual lifestyle changes. This study is a single-center, mixed-methods, cluster-randomized pilot trial evaluating the feasibility of the BASIC-S protocol in an occupational setting. A maximum of 60 households (120 participants) will be randomized 1:1 to either the BASIC-S intervention (motivational coaching, secure video check-ins, automated text messages, and a digital workbook) or standard care. Outcomes will assess feasibility, acceptability, and the validity of new tracking metrics to inform a future full-scale trial.
