First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether trained peer coaches can help people with limited health literacy discuss heart disease prevention with their doctors. Researchers will enroll 60 patients at one clinic and analyze whether coaching leads to better conversations about treatment options. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible, not yet to prove it improves health.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that peer coaching helps people with limited health literacy better discuss heart disease prevention with their doctors.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study (60 people) at one clinic, so results may not apply broadly. It tests whether the approach works, not whether it improves health outcomes.
