Black Women's Life Experience On Cardiovascular Health Via Ongoing Monitoring (NCT06150989)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This pilot study uses a state-of-the-science combination of remote behavioral monitoring, real-time experience sampling, in-lab physiological assessments, and extraction of neighborhood-level characteristics to (1) Examine the impact of daily experience (i.e., racial discrimination, affective states, stress) on health behaviors (i.e., physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep) at the intrapersonal level among Black women; (2) Test the association between daily behaviors and impairments in biomarkers associated with vascular function/health (i.e., augmented systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, impaired peripheral/cerebral vascular function, increased large artery stiffness), as well as the impact of daily experience on the relationship between behaviors and vascular function; and (3) Explore the influence of neighborhood-level characteristics (i.e., social environment factors: i.e., neighborhood income and poverty, racial composition; and built environment context, such as park density and walkability) on daily experience and health behaviors.
