Introduction: American Indians have higher rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD), likely due to disproportionate burden of diabetes and limited access to widespread CVD prevention programs such as Honoring the Gift of Heart Health (HGHH), a 10-week CVD risk factor awareness curriculum. Due to its length, HGHH may be difficult to complete; therefore, we aimed to evaluate a shortened CVD risk factor awareness program based on the HGHH educational materials for American Indians residing in southwest Oklahoma, entitled "The Amazing Race for Heart Health."
Methods: We conducted an interventional study where each participant served as their own control ( = 61), with pre- and post-intervention measurements.
