Targeting Metabolic Syndrome From the Emergency Department Through Mixed-Methods: Pilot Trial

NCT07119658

CompletedNA

Sponsor: Indiana University

Conditions: Hypertension, Hyperglycemia, Dyslipidemia, Metabolic Syndrome, Obesity &Amp; Overweight

Interventions: Composite intervention to address MetS

Countries: United States

The objective of this study is to pilot a multifaceted, optimized intervention for metabolic syndrome (MetS) in emergency department patients to establish feasibility. Participants (n=20) will be randomized to intervention or control (usual care). The composite intervention will include an educational video outlining the adverse effects of MetS and the benefit of walking, a written exercise prescription with a defined goal of walking 150 minutes per week, a Fitbit accelerometer device, resources for healthy eating practices, periodic text message reminders, and an urgent referral to primary care and our health system's Healthy Me clinic for follow-up visit. Investigators hypothesize that this approach will change patient understanding and motivation to increase physical activity and healthy eating habits.
