Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases Clinical Trial
Official title:
Peer-led Digital Health Lifestyle Intervention for a Low Income Community at Risk for Cardiovascular Diseases (MYCardio-PEER)
The goal of this interventional study is to develop and assess the effectiveness of a peer-led digital health program (MYCardio-PEER) for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a low-income community at-risk of CVD. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is MYCardio-PEER effective in improving knowledge, lifestyle behaviors and CVD biomarkers of a low-income community at-risk for CVD? - Is there an association between MYCardio-PEER participants' adherence and satisfaction, with effectiveness and sustainability of the program? Participants will attend the 8-weeks MYCardio-PEER program with their peer leaders, supplemented with face-to-face components. Participants will then be followed up for another 12 weeks, during which peer leaders and researchers will have minimal contact with the participants. Participants who have been allocated into the control group will receive printed documents with standard tips on dietary and lifestyle management for CVD, where they will be encouraged to maintain regular calorie intake and expenditure and perform regular exercise.
