MOCHA Moving Forward: a CBPR Investigation of Chronic Disease Prevention in Older, Low-income African-American Men
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Disease of Cardiovascular System, Multiple Chronic Conditions, Chronic Disease
In brief
The overall goal of the research is to discover how to reduce chronic disease health disparities among older (ages 35-70) low-income African-American men more effectively. To achieve this goal, the investigators are conducting formative exploratory research with middle-aged, low-income African-American men; testing two versions of a novel community-developed intervention, MOCHA and MOCHA+ (where MOCHA+ is a modified version of the "standard" MOCHA program, modified to incorporate narrative communication strategies); and advancing the development of a Minority Stress Model through statistical modelling to test the relative contributions of hypothesized explanatory variables identified in the formative research phase of the project.
