The Morehouse-Emory Cardiovascular Center for Health Equity Study: Clinical Intervention Project

Participants will view an orientation video which will include information on how to access the program from home and other internet access sites, how to use their activity monitor and sphygmomanometers, introduction to the curriculum, quizzes and discussion boards. Participants will be encouraged to upload their data at least once a week and to access the curriculum as often as desired. Technological and customer service support related to use of the application will be available 24 hours by phone.

Participants will be contacted by the health coach in the first week of the study to review their initial self-management behavioral goals and approaches. Follow up calls will occur each week for the first month, biweekly for the second and third months, and then once per month for the remainder of the study (months 4-6).
