Evaluating a Statewide Community Intervention Model to Address Cardiovascular Risk, Diet, and Physical Activity
About This Grant
Chronic diseases—including cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and diabetes—are leading causes of death and disability in the United States, accounting for over $3.6 trillion in annual healthcare costs. Despite decades of public health efforts, most Americans fail to meet dietary and physical activity guidelines, underscoring the need for scalable, community-based solutions. Community Intermediary Organizations (CIOs) have emerged as promising models for delivering evidence-based policies and programs (EBPPs) by fostering multisectoral collaboration, providing technical assistance, and aligning resources with local priorities. In Rhode Island, the Health Zones (HEZ) initiative operationalizes the CIO model across 14 communities, each led by a backbone organization that autonomously implements EBPPs tailored to local needs. While HEZ has demonstrated success in reducing social vulnerability, its impact on health behaviors and outcomes remains underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness (Aim 1), implementation (Aim 2), and the interaction between implementation and effectiveness (Aim 3) of the HEZ model in improving diet quality, physical activity, and CVD outcomes. Using a retrospective stepped-wedge trial design and the RE-AIM framework, this project will assess: (1a) changes in diet quality, food security, and physical activity; (1b) improvements in CVD risk factors and outcomes; (2a) the reach, adoption, and maintenance of HEZ interventions; and (3) how implementation fidelity and network strength influence health outcomes. Findings will provide critical insights into the scalability and sustainability of community-based interventions for chronic disease prevention.
