About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a 6-month family-based community intervention to mitigate cardiovascular disease risk factors in Hispanic families in northern Colorado as measured through biometric screenings, body composition, physical activity, and health knowledge.

Read the detailed description

The current project aims to leverage the UCHealth Healthy Hearts Family Program to provide a free, non-insurance-based 1-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and wellness program to Hispanic Colorado families. This program includes an interactive educational class series, baseline and quarterly biometric screenings, and optional consultations with an Exercise Physiologist and a Dietitian. This program takes a novel approach to preventative care by incorporating the family unit with the intention of having the child be the agent of change. The long-term goals of this project are to significantly improve CVD risk factors among participating families and to disseminate study findings to inform developing and current outreach programs to offer effective CVD prevention programs for Hispanic citizens. This work may ultimately lead to more Hispanics being served through new or existing programs, therefore expanding important preventative community health interventions into this underserved population.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Daily Steps

    Physical activity metrics (daily average steps per month) measured by Fitbit devices

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  2. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Physical Activity

    Physical activity metrics (daily minutes of light, moderate and vigorous activity per month) measured by Fitbit devices

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  3. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Blood Pressure

    Biometric variables (blood pressure in mmHg)

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  4. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Lab Value -Lipid Profile

    Biometric variables - lab values (lipid profile in mg/dL) measured through finger stick blood sampling

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  5. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Lab Value - Triglycerides

    Biometric variables - lab values ( triglycerides in mg/dL) measured through finger stick blood sampling

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  6. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Lab Value - Blood Glucose

    Biometric variables - lab values (blood glucose all in mg/dL) measured through finger stick blood sampling

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  7. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Waist Circumference

    Body composition (waist circumference in inches)

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  8. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Body Composition - Muscle Mass

    Body composition (muscle mass in pounds) measured with a Tanita MC980Uplus multi-frequency bio-electrical impedance analysis device.

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  9. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Body Composition - Fat Mass

    Body composition (fat-free mass in pounds) measured with a Tanita MC980Uplus multi-frequency bio-electrical impedance analysis device.

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  10. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Body Fat Percentage

    Body composition (body fat percentage) measured with a Tanita MC980Uplus multi-frequency bio-electrical impedance analysis device.

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  11. Efficacy of program through changes in physical health - Visceral Fat Rating

    Body composition (Tanita visceral fat rating) measured with a Tanita MC980Uplus multi-frequency bio-electrical impedance analysis device.

    Measured: Baseline, 3-month follow up and 6-month follow up data will be evaluated and compared

  12. Efficacy of program through changes in health knowledge

    Health knowledge gained and retained will be evaluated and compared at baseline, post-6 week class series, 3- and 6-month follow-ups utilizing previously developed and utilized Healthy Hearts knowledge survey. This outcome will be measured by correct responses on the Healthy Hearts knowledge survey.

    Measured: Baseline, post-6 week class series, 3- and 6-month follow-up appointments.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Adherence to program and utilization of additional resources - Program attendance - Percentage of Scheduled Visits Attended

    Attendance for screenings, classes and other consultations across baseline and follow-up visits. Attendance will be measured as the percentage of scheduled visits (including the 6 week class series and the 3- and 6-month follow-up visits) completed.

    Measured: These variables will be measured and assessed throughout the full 6 month program.

  2. Adherence to program and utilization of additional resources - Fitbit Utilization

    Compliance to Fitbit utilization as measured by days worn throughout the 6 month program. The NHANES compliance to wear time of > 10 hours worn per day will be utilized.

    Measured: These variables will be measured and assessed throughout the full 6 month program.

  3. Adherence to program and utilization of additional resources - Resource Utilization

    Use of Exercise Physiologist and Dietician resources provided will be quantified and reported. This outcome will be reported as the number of consultation appointments requested and utilized throughout the program.

    Measured: These variables will be measured and assessed throughout the full 6 month program.
