Interventions

  • RISE-W Micro-Movement Program — BEHAVIORAL

Study Details

This pilot study tests whether a low-burden prevention program can be integrated into routine care to identify and reduce cardiometabolic risk in rural women. Rural women face high rates of cardiometabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions (elevated blood pressure, abdominal obesity, abnormal cholesterol, and high blood sugar) that raises the risk of heart disease and diabetes, yet often face barriers to prevention and screening. The study enrolls physically inactive adult women with multiple cardiometabolic risk factors who receive care at a rural federally qualified health center. At a baseline visit, participants complete surveys and clinical assessments including inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein and interleukin-6), metabolic labs, blood pressure, waist circumference, menopausal status, and social determinants of health. Participants then take part in a 12-week program of brief, frequent daily movement supported by a wearable activity tracker. Assessments are repeated at 12 weeks. Because this is a single-group pilot, every participant receives the program and serves as her own comparison. The study evaluates whether the model is feasible to run within routine clinic workflows and examines preliminary changes in cardiometabolic and inflammatory risk indicators. Findings will inform larger studies of scalable prevention strategies for rural women.
