NCT ID NCT07034352
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a program called Health Impact 360, designed to improve heart health in adults from marginalized communities. 328 participants will join group sessions twice a week for 8 weeks, then once a week for 8 more weeks. Sessions include health education and group walking. Researchers will measure changes in heart health, stress, and social support compared to a wait-list control group.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a low-cost, community-based way to improve heart health and well-being in underserved groups.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage behavioral study (328 people) with no blinding. Results may not apply broadly, and benefits may depend on how often people attend sessions.
