Empowering Cardiovascular Health in Custodial Grandparents

"The RICHH intervention is an educational-behavioral and counseling intervention that promotes caregivers' knowledge, skills and motivation to engage in CVD risk reduction. The intervention is delivered individually to caregivers in their homes using video-conferencing technology on mini-iPads. The program consists of 12 weekly sessions \[30-45 minutes\] that will be held at the caregivers' preferred times. RICHH consists of 6 interactive modules (i.e., self-management for heart health, depressive symptom management, heart healthy eating, physical activity, co-morbid condition management, and adherence to medication and smoking cessation).~The modified RICHH intervention utilizes focus group outcomes to employ modifications needed to target custodial grandparents from varied backgrounds (e.g., high ACEs, SDoH groups)."
