Genetic Risk and Health Coaching for Type 2 Diabetes and Coronary Heart Disease

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Coronary Heart Disease, Susceptibility to, 5, Prediabetic State

In brief

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the use of genetic test information and/or health coaching in patient risk counseling for heart disease and diabetes affect health behaviors and health outcomes in active-duty Air Force (ADAF), beneficiaries or dependents and Air Force retiree patients. Total of 400 subjects will be enrolled. They will be randomly(like flipping a coin)assigned to 4 groups: 1)Standard risk assessment (SRA)only; 2)SRA plus genetic risk information (SRA+G); 3)SRA plus health coaching (SRA+HC); or 4)SRA, genetic risk information, and health coaching (SRA+G+HC). Subjects randomized to the two genetic arms will have blood collected for testing of investigational coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk markers. Participants in the two groups that include health coaching will be assigned to a trained certified health coach for a period of 6 months. The duration of the study is 12 months with 3 in person visits (baseline, 6 months and 12 months) and completion of surveys at 6 weeks and 3 month time points.
