Rural towns test civic power to boost heart health
NCT ID NCT05002660
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a community-led program can help rural adults eat better and exercise more to improve heart health. About 2,420 adults from small towns will work together to identify and overcome local barriers to healthy living. The program aims to spark changes in the community environment, like better access to healthy food or safe places to walk.
