Detailed Description
The specific aims for this study are: 1) to determine if a cultural nutritional program across generations can change stroke risk factors in the Oneida Nation; 2) to determine if a cultural nutritional program across generations can change vascular cognitive decline in the Oneida Nation; and, 3) determine how structured culturally competent school education programs about nutrition influence knowledge of health. The intervention used is health wellness coaching. All individuals enrolled in this study will have opportunity to interact with an Oneida Nation employed Health wellness coach to find out about Oneida resources that they can use to modify their stroke risk factors.
