Summary

This trial is testing a community-based cooking intervention to see if it affects home-cooking behaviors in African American adults at risk for heart disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for African American adults living in Wards 7 and 8 of Washington, D.C., who are at least 18 years old and have risk factors for heart disease like high waist-to-hip ratio, hypertension or prehypertension, prediabetes, overweight/obesity (BMI ≥25), high cholesterol, or elevated fasting glucose. Participants must speak English.
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand cooking behaviors among African Americans at risk for heart disease and test if a community-based cooking program led by a trained chef can improve home-cooking habits. The intervention includes weekly shared cooking events over six weeks with additional health assessments.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a dietary behavior intervention focusing on improving cooking habits rather than testing medications or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects as typically associated with clinical trials involving drugs.
