Healthy Heart Habits-2

BA-HD includes 8 - 10 sessions delivered over 10-12 weeks. Sessions use behavioral activation techniques to connect patient core values with goal-setting targeting activities that improve mood, alongside personalized adjustments to cardiovascular health behaviors (i.e., tobacco cessation, medication adherence, physical activity, diet, and sleep). Educational materials and commercially available tools like activity trackers, pillboxes, and portion control aids will accompany the goal-setting process to facilitate behavior change.

Patients will receive depression and heart disease education, as well as a list of local mental health resources.
