University of Georgia Mind Your Heart Pilot Study
United States37 participantsStarted 2022-01-20
Plain-language summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn if nutrition education can improve eating habits and health outcomes in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does participation in a 6-week nutrition education program improve dietary behaviors?
2. Does participation in the program improve health measures such as blood lipids, blood pressure, and eye nutrient levels?
Participants will:
1. Visit the Institute of Gerontology at the beginning and end of the 6-week study for:
* Blood draws to measure blood lipids (e.g., cholesterol)
* Blood pressure measurement
* Eye exams to assess nutrient levels
* Completion of questionnaires about dietary habits
2. Complete online questionnaires before and after the study period
3. Participate in the Mind Your Heart program by reviewing 6 online modules over 6 weeks (approximately 20-30 minutes per module)

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
