SUMMARY:

Deep in the Heart is a community-based National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute R01 study that takes place in Jim Wells County, Texas to improve women’s heart health through improved diet and physical activity. This collaboration with the Texas A&M Health Coastal Bend Health Education Center will evaluate whether the shortened evidence-based program paired with a mobile app and website will remain effective (improving a composite cardiovascular disease risk score) and increase the likelihood of adoption.
