Official title:
Physical Activity Program for Cardiac Health Among Older African American Populations Living in Rural Alabama: Needs Assessment and Initial Development
Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, and older African Americans (AAs) living in rural areas are disproportionately affected by this healthcare problem. The investigators propose conducting a mixed-methods study to gain information about CVD-related knowledge, perceptions regarding CVD-related healthcare needs, preferences and access barriers, and cultural aspects within this population. The information will be used in tailoring an existing intervention to meet those needs and preferences and evaluate its feasibility among older AAs living in rural Alabama. This study will lay a foundation for developing a federal grant application and a line of independent research by this early-stage investigator.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Physical Activity | The investigators will measure the leisure-time physical activity including walk. This will be measured by an accelerometer which gives more accurate information about the ambulation of a person. Scores can range between 0 and infinite.
The higher the score, the better is the outcome. |
