About this study

In plain language

This study tests PREVENT, a digital tool to help rural clinics give health advice that fits each patient. It will look at how well the tool works in clinics and whether it helps patients feel more ready to change habits and improve heart health. The study is for adults with obesity who get care at Missouri Highlands Healthcare, as well as its providers and clinic staff.

This project will conduct a pilot hybrid study that examines the implementation (Aims 1 \& 2) and preliminary effectiveness (Aim 3) of PREVENT, a digital health intervention, among patients with overweight/obesity (N=100) using a clinic-randomized design. The central hypothesis of the study is that PREVENT will be feasible and show improvements in health behavior counseling and the patient experience that will improve patients' motivation to change, and their CVH health behaviors and outcomes.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
