Interventions
Modified RICHH
The RICHH intervention is an educational-behavioral and counseling intervention that promotes caregivers' knowledge, skills and motivation to engage in CVD risk reduction. The intervention is delivered individually to caregivers in their homes using video-conferencing technology on mini-iPads. The program consists of 12 weekly sessions \[30-45 minutes\] that will be held at the caregivers' preferred times. RICHH consists of 6 interactive modules (i.e., self-management for heart health, depressive symptom management, heart healthy eating, physical activity, co-morbid condition management, and adherence to medication and smoking cessation). The modified RICHH intervention utilizes focus group outcomes to employ modifications needed to target custodial grandparents from varied backgrounds (e.g., high ACEs, SDoH groups).
