Summary
This study tested an 8-week digital lifestyle program called MYCardio-PEER for low-income adults at risk of heart disease. Participants received weekly videos and infographics on healthy eating and exercise, plus group chats with peer leaders. The goal was to see if the program improved heart health knowledge, behaviors, and risk scores compared to standard printed advice.
