SHARE

Overview 

SHARE was an NIH-funded behavioral intervention project that represented a collaboration between the University of Michigan and the Diocese of Corpus Christi. SHARE was a primary stroke prevention project which targeted lifestyle change through a culturally-sensitive, faith-based multicomponent intervention. Churches were randomized to intervention or control groups (who received a delayed intervention) and enrolled in a staggered fashion. A one-year intervention consisting of self-help materials, motivational interviewing, tailored newsletters, and social environmental change were implemented.
