Mind Your Heart Intervention for American Indian Women

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a culturally-adapted intervention can improve cardiovascular health in American Indian women. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can this intervention realistically work for American Indian women? * Do American Indian women find the intervention acceptable? * Does the intervention help improve cardiovascular health in American Indian women? Researchers will compare the intervention group to a control group (a group that does not receive the intervention) to see whether the cardiovascular health of the intervention group improves. Participants will: * Attend 3 data collections over 3 months. * Be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or a control group. * (Intervention group participants) attend 8 weekly classes.

Detailed Description

Conduct a 3-month randomized controlled pilot study to examine feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of an 8-week, culturally-adapted intervention in American Indian women at risk for cardiovascular disease on the following outcomes: Primary cardiovascular health outcomes: * blood pressure * heart rate variability * inflammatory markers * metabolic function Secondary outcomes: * stress * positive psychological well-being * health behaviors (diet, exercise) * self-regulation * self-efficacy
