Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Internal Champion (IC) StrategyExperimental Treatment3 Interventions

In the Planning for Health intervention, the IC implementation strategy will include trainings on transformational leadership principles that address challenges that health leaders face in the church setting to assist them in independently planning the cardiovascular health programming for congregants. Limited assistance from staff will be provided in the Preparing for Health and the Delivery of Health interventions.

Group II: Expert Professional (EP) StrategyExperimental Treatment3 Interventions

In the Planning for Health intervention, the EP implementation strategy will include the use of external professionals to assist health leaders in the planning of cardiovascular health programming for congregants. Staff will assist health leaders in the Preparing for Health and the Delivery of Health interventions.

Group III: Comparison Group StrategyActive Control1 Intervention

In the Planning for Health intervention, the Comparison Group strategy will include process activities with the health leaders (identification of health leaders, meetings of health leaders, assistance of health leaders with recruitment of congregants for research). Except for data collection, participants (health leaders and congregants) will not be involved in the Preparing for Health or the Delivery of Health interventions.
