The Church as a Bridge to Deliver Health Resources Via Telehealth
October 25, 2017 updated by: University of Southern Mississippi
The Church as a Bridge to Deliver Health Resources Via Telehealth to Alleviate Obesity and Chronic Disease Disparities in Rural African Americans of Mississippi
The proposed Church Bridge intervention project will provide an innovative, evidence-based and technology supported, health intervention model for Southern, African American, and rural populations who continue to be disparately burdened by obesity and associated co-morbidities (i.e., hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease).
By targeting young adults (21-50 years of age) with families, the project will contribute to the long-term reduction of preventable chronic disease and related health care costs for the public.
