This proposed project will determine the effectiveness of Health for Hearts United Collaborative (HHUC) implementation strategies in relation to process outcomes and reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in African Americans (AAs),examining two possible strategies.
Full description
This project will determine the effectiveness of HHUC implementation strategies in relation to process outcomes and reducing CVD risk in AAs, guided by ecological theory, the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), and the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. The HHUC model currently includes three components: governance structure, annual events, and basic support. The investigators propose adding a fourth component that includes one of two possible implementation strategies: 1) an internal champions (IC)-driven strategy that includes two features (leadership development, culturally-tailored planning approaches) or 2) an external change agent (external professionals [EP])-driven strategy without these features. The investigators will pilot and refine the IC and EP-driven implementation strategies using health leaders from four churches in the two-county area by determining feasibility and acceptability. Following the pilot, the investigators will use an effectiveness implementation hybrid Type 3 design to evaluate the IC and EP implementation strategies in relation to process outcomes. The study will be conducted in a two-county area in North Florida, using congregants ((18 years of age and older, n=225) in nine churches: three IC treatment, three EP treatment, and three comparison with delayed comparable activities.
