Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
The purpose of this project is to apply a community-based participatory research (CBPR)
approach to rigorously refine and test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of an
existing cardiovascular (CV) health and wellness digital application (app) prototype to
improve CV health according to the American Heart Association Life's Simple 7 (LS7) framework
among African-American (AA) adults within faith communities. The investigators hypothesize
that the app-based intervention will be feasible and improve LS7 among AAs from baseline to
6-months post-intervention.
