Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Cohort of Latina Women Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for qualified medical advice, visits or professional assistance by using a real mD. We are not docs. Always confer with your physician about Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Cohort of Latina Women conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Cohort of Latina Women Clinical research trials and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Cohort of Latina Women health trials occur in many of cities throughout the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally evaluate the effectivity of new does drugs. The intent of the studies / undertakings is to resolve particular human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to detect remedies for all sorts of conditions, including Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Cohort of Latina Women. Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Cohort of Latina Women Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Most times the participants undergo professional assistance for without cost, and occasionally they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Cohort of Latina Women clinical trial. Test subjects typically receive the most expert healthcare available for their Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Cohort of Latina Women condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include more or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-endangering), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Cardiovascular Risk Factors in a Cohort of Latina Women
For Condition: Cardiovascular Diseases,Heart Diseases
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: To conduct a cross-sectional study of cardiovascular risk factors in a cohort of Latina women.
Details: BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among Latina women (LW) in the United States. Nursing knowledge in the area of CVD and Latina women is currently underdeveloped. Most studies have included Mexican women with limited information on how predictors such as resources, situational, personal, and demographic factors have an effect on the CVD-related dietary practices, physical activity, and exercise practices among Latina women subgroups such as Central American women. DESIGN NARRATIVE: To conduct a cross-sectional and follow-up preliminary intervention study in order to describe and analyze the CVD-related diet, physical activity, and exercise practices predictors in 221 Mexican and Central American women recruited from six counties in Northern California. Face-to-face interviews will be conducted with Mexican American and Central American women (ages 40-75) who have at least one risk factor for CVD to answer the following questions: What are the CVD-related risk factors, dietary practices, physical activity, and exercise behaviors in Mexican and Central American women who are 40 to 75 years and who have at least one risk factor for CVD? What is the relationship between predictor variables (resources, situational, personal, and demographic factors) with CVD-related diet practices, physical activity, and exercise behaviors (outcome variables)?, and what are the short and intermediate-term effects of a cardiovascular nursing intervention on diet, physical activity, and exercise? A sample of 221 women is targeted. Data will be collected during the first two years of the project to provide substantial research-based information to develop a cardiovascular nursing intervention to support Latina women efforts to promote heart health and prevent CVD. Data will be analyzed during the third year and the cardiovascular nursing intervention will be developed to determine the short (3 months) and intermediate-term (6 months) effects in the outcome variables. A randomly selected sample of 60 women from the same cohort will be randomly assigned to the developed intervention group (n=30 in each group) and to a delayed-intervention control group. The results of this study are aimed to design a prospective experimental study with a specialized cardiovascular nursing intervention.
