- Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentIntervention Model Description: We will conduct a randomized controlled trial with Hispanic family dyads using a 2-group design (Corazón de la Familia active intervention versus control condition) to test effects of a type 2 diabetes and CVD risk reduction intervention at 3 (short-term) and 12 (long-term) months. For dyads randomized to the active intervention, the participant with 2 or more CVD or type 2 diabetes risk factors (index participant) and their co-participating family member will attend 8 sessions that provide type 2 diabetes and CVD risk reduction and lifestyle modification education. For dyads randomized to the control condition, only the index participant will attend 8 educational lifestyle modification sessions. Participants in both groups will receive monthly follow up phone calls up through 12 months post-baseline. The sessions for both the intervention and the control group and the monthly post-intervention phone calls will be provided by community health workers.Masking: Triple (Participant, Care Provider, Outcomes Assessor)Masking Description: Participants, community health workers, and assessors are blinded to which arm is the active intervention and which arm is the active comparator. Participants, community health workers, and assessors will be blinded to hypotheses regarding group differences and will be informed that both groups are intervention groups and that we are examining how well both intervention types perform.Primary Purpose: Prevention

The Corazón de la Familia study is a randomized controlled trial conducted to examine if a novel family-focused lifestyle modification intervention is more effective in reducing risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) than an individual-focused lifestyle modification intervention. We will enroll 220 Hispanic family pairs or dyads, of whom one member has two or more risk factors for type 2 diabetes or CVD but does not have type 2 diabetes or CVD. The second member of the family dyad may or may not have type 2 diabetes or CVD or may or may not be at risk for type 2 diabetes or CVD. Of the 220 family dyads, 110 will be randomly selected to participate in the family-focused intervention and 110 will be randomly selected to participate in the individual-focused intervention. The interventions for both groups will be provided by community health workers. Both groups will receive eight educational sessions about healthy lifestyle behaviors and support to address personal and environmental barriers to engaging in healthy behaviors. After the eight sessions, the community health workers will follow up with participants once a month by phone over the next 12 months. Primary outcomes include short-term and long-term impact of the family-focused active intervention compared to the individual-focused control condition on type 2 diabetes and CVD biological risk factors (for example, blood pressure and weight) and behavioral risk factors (for example, physical activity and tobacco use). Outcomes are measured at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at the end of the 12 month period of the study for both groups.
