Summary

This trial will test a family-based intervention to help Hispanic families in northern Colorado reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Hispanic families with members aged 13 or older, aiming to reduce cardiovascular disease risk. Participants must be able to read English or Spanish and commit to wearing a Fitbit device daily, except when charging or sleeping. They also need to attend baseline, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up screenings.

What is being tested?

The 'Healthy Hearts Family Program' is being tested over six months to see if it can lower the risk of heart disease in Hispanics. The program's success will be measured by changes in biometric data, body composition, physical activity levels, and health knowledge.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves lifestyle changes rather than medication, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from regular wear of fitness tracking devices and potential stress related to lifestyle adjustments.
