NCT01433484

Brief Summary

This study aims to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and disparities in risk by improving lifestyle factors which underlie the development of CVD. The first steps will involve conducting a comprehensive formative evaluation to assess individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and policy factors relevant to CVD risk and risk reduction in Lenoir County. This will be followed by a community-based lifestyle intervention program designed to improve eating patterns, promote physical activity, and for those who are interested, support weight loss. A randomized trial comparing the effectiveness of two community based weight maintenance interventions will also be conducted. Community-wide policy and environmental change interventions will also be implemented to support the individual-level interventions, including partnerships with businesses to promote a healthy environment through innovative economic opportunities. In addition, this project will explore genetic factors associated with cardiovascular disease risk and treatment success.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Cohort study: fruit and vegetable intake at 6 months

    Fruit and vegetable intake will be measured by the Block fruit and vegetable sceener and by blood carotenoids

    6 months

  • Embedded randomized trial: maintenance of weight loss

    Weight will be measured by electronic scale

    1 year after maintenance of weight loss trial begins

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Physical activity

    6m, 12m, 18m, 24 m

  • Blood pressure

    6, 12, 18, 24 months

  • Blood lipids

    12, 24 months

  • A1c

    6, 12, 24 months

  • Fruit and vegetable intake at 6 months

    12, 18, and 24 months

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Maintenance of Weight Loss--Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The control arm will receive bi-monthly telephone contacts during the one-year maintenance phase.

Behavioral: Maintenance of Weight Loss--Control

Maintenance of Weight Loss--Experimental

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental arm will receive monthly telephone contacts for one year during the maintenance phase.

Behavioral: Maintenance of Weight Loss--Experimental

Interventions

As the maintenance of weight loss randomized trial does not begin until a year after the start of this study, the intervention and control conditions are not yet specified. This will occur before randomization and this section will be updated before the first participant is randomized.
