Evaluating a Web-Based Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor Reduction Program Among American Indians
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Hypertension, Obesity, Tobacco Use Cessation
In brief
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a serious health concern for American Indians, but there have been few behaviorally based programs to lessen CVD risk among this population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a Web-based program, in addition to usual medical care, can lower CVD risk factors among American Indians who have type 2 diabetes and a high risk of developing CVD.
