The GoodNEWS Lifestyle Enhancement Program

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cardiovascular Disease, Hypertension, Diabetes, Obesity

In brief

This study will train Lay Health Promoters (LHPs) from African-American churches to administer healthy living lessons and activities to their congregations in order to improve overall health and address cardiovascular disease. The primary hypothesis is that LHP training combined with a well supported maintenance strategy will be more effective than LHP training alone in reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
