点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. A two arm, parallel group, multi-center design will be used to randomize subjects within the Community Practice Network (CPN) to UC or the LSI. Participants randomized to UC will receive usual care from their provider, and will be given a MetS resource folder consisting of information and healthy lifestyle recommendations. Participants randomized to the LSI group will receive UC plus 4 education sessions designed to improve PA, diet and medication compliance, followed by 11 phone counseling sessions by a community health worker (CHW). Baseline, 3, 6 & 12-month evaluations will be completed for both groups.
