What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to engage African-American churches via an established community-academic partnership (FAITH! Program) to build capacity to promote cardiovascular health and digital health equity in African-American faith communities. There are 3 study aims: Aim 1: Co-design a culturally tailored digital health equity toolkit with community members Aim 2: Train a network of Digital Health Advocates (DHAs) in digital health equity and cardiovascular health promotion Aim 3: Test the impact of a DHA-enhanced mobile health intervention (the FAITH! App) on cardiovascular health and digital health readiness among participants In Aim 1, participants will attend a series of focus groups to share their input on a digital health equity curriculum that will be condensed into a toolkit. In Aim 2, DHAs will be trained using this toolkit as well as a community health advocacy curriculum to learn how to promote digital health readiness and cardiovascular health in their communities. Finally, Aim 3 will be a randomized controlled trial where participants will use the FAITH! App to improve their cardiovascular health. Some participants will have the added support of a DHA, and the control group participants will use the app with no additional support to test whether the DHA support is associated with a more significant improvement in cardiovascular health.
