Phone calls to fight heart disease: new study tests coaching for young adults
NCT ID NCT07623733
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week telephone health coaching program, called Support Your Heart, is practical and helpful for young adults aged 18-39 who have at least two heart disease risk factors (like poor sleep, inactivity, or high blood pressure). Twenty participants in the Washington DC area will receive weekly coaching calls to improve their cardiovascular health. The main goal is to see if people find the program easy to use and satisfying, not yet to measure long-term health changes.
