Brief Summary
The investigators propose conducting a pilot study to identify 6 worksites (2 India, 2 Sri Lanka, 2 Bangladesh) explore barriers to optimum cardiovascular disease(CVD) care at these worksites, quantify risk factor level in worksite populations and identify and train peer mentors to deliver an educational intervention to improve life style and enhance medication adherence among those at moderate to high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Change in knowledge attitudes & practices related to Cardiovascular risk factors. (questionnaire)
A knowledge, attitudes \& practices questionnaire will be administered to participants
1 Month
Identification of barriers and facilitators for an optimal Cardiovascular Health environment. (In depth interviews and focus groups discussions with random sample of participants)
qualitative analysis - In depth interviews and focus groups discussions with random sample of participants
3 Months
Estimate the Cardiovascular risk factor burden (validated non lab based Cardiovascular risk score)
validated non lab based Cardiovascular risk score will be used (developed from NHANES data and validated against Framingham score
3 Months
Study Arms (1)
lifestyle counseling
EXPERIMENTALwe will have a trained peer mentor educating employees regarding lifestyle modification for control of cardiovascular disease risk factors and following them up for a duration of 3 months
Interventions
Employees above the age of 35 years will be risk stratified into moderate or high risk of developing cardiovascular disease using a simple non-lab based risk scoring system, they will be invited to participate in the pilot intervention study. This is a single arm before-after study.subject education will focus on life style medication and adherence to medication (if applicable).importantly the peer mentor will try to identify barriers to adopting a healthy lifestyle(tobacco, physical acitivity, diet, alcohol and strees) and adherence to cardiovascular disease prevention medication. peer mentors will be trained to interpret blood glucose and lipids, recognize abnormal valves, provide lifestyle counseling and refer to treating physician when appropriate.
