Summary
This study tests whether personalized telehealth coaching from a pharmacist can help people adopt preventive health strategies like better nutrition, exercise, and medication use. Researchers will enroll 360 adults from industries like healthcare and food service in Louisiana. Participants will be randomly assigned to either standard wellness education or a personalized plan, and followed for 12-18 months to see if they are more willing to get screened for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
