Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (MASALA) Social Network Study

Completed

Conditions studied: Atherosclerosis

In brief

It has been argued that social relationships are important to health and well-being. This study will investigate links between social networks and cardiovascular disease risk factors in South Asians, the second fastest growing ethnic group in the US and one with disparate rates of coronary heart disease. Identifying and understanding the links between social networks and cardiovascular disease is key to the development and testing of family- and community-level prevention interventions for minorities.
