Growing Healthy Hearts (GHH)
2026년 7월 2일 업데이트: Susan Veldheer, Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
Growing Healthy Hearts: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Multicomponent Gardening Intervention for Adults With Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Their Families.
This proposal includes a prospective, parallel group, two-arm RCT with 264 adult-child dyads (adult age 18+, child ages 5-17 years) to examine the effectiveness of the Growing Healthy Hearts (GHH) intervention versus a wait list control on cardiovascular and behavioral health outcomes at 3-, 6- and 12-months follow-up (Aim 1).
This proposal will also examine the effect of GHH on home fruit and vegetable (FV) availability, frequency of home-prepared meals that include FV, and child behaviors (FV intake and PA) at 3-, 6- and 12-month follow-up (Aim 2) and intervention implementation (Aim 3)
