Brief Summary

The Specific Aims for CATCH: PATH are: Specific Aim 1: To promote cardiovascular health through implementation and evaluation of a multilevel CBPR intervention (i.e., individual, family, organizational levels) to increase opportunities for active living, specifically walking groups, in three communities in Detroit. Specific Aim 2: To promote cardiovascular health through implementation and evaluation of a multilevel CBPR intervention (i.e., organization, community, policy levels) to promote leadership development, community action, and policy level change to enhance neighborhood environments that support and sustain active living. Specific Aim 3: To maintain and evaluate the HEP CBPR partnership engaging members of the partnership in providing scientific and community oversight for all aspects of the CATCH: PATH project. Specific Aim 4: To disseminate preliminary results and develop a comprehensive Dissemination Plan to share research findings through community and peer reviewed outlets to assure translation of results from this multilevel CBPR intervention into programmatic and policy efforts to improve heart health in eastside, northwest and southwest Detroit.

Walk Your Heart to Health intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants were randomized into one of two groups: intervention and lagged intervention. The intervention group completed the 8 week Walk Your Heart to Health intervention, followed by a second wave of data collection for both initial and lagged intevention groups. The lagged intervention group then completed the 8 week Walk Your Heart to Health intervention. Both groups continued walking for another 24 weeks. Walking group sessions conducted 3 times per week for 32 weeks.

Behavioral: Walk Your Heart to Health
