Educational Strategy on a Vulnerable Population to Improve Cardiovascular Health and Food Insecurity

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that an educational program on a healthy lifestyle which increases health literacy could improve long-term health and mitigate food insecurity.

A 24-month randomized clinical trial involving vulnerable families (460 participants) at risk of food insecurity to improve cardiovascular health, with an initial basic training workshop followed by randomization into three groups: 1. No further intervention; 2. A traditional advanced intervention model every three months; and 3. E-learning advanced intervention model every 15 days with YouTube videos and WhatsApp messages. Primary objective: \- Improve cardiovascular health measured by Life's Simple 7, American Heart Association Secondary objective * Demonstrate whether the intervention improves the food safety score measured according to FAO * Study which of the two models of advanced intervention, face-to-face or virtual, improves cardiovascular and food health literacy in the study population. This project aims to transfer and offer to society this virtual educational strategy as a tool to improve cardiovascular health in other vulnerable populations, in a scientific, efficient, safe, and sustainable way.
