Study summary

The study aims to explore whether data driven, personalized wellness interventions-based on integrated genomic, clinical, behavioral, and functional data- are feasible in a rural facing setting and can produce measurable improvements in cardiometabolic, cognitive, mental health, and functional wellness outcomes within four months.

This study has three primary goals.

  1. Identify scientific, behavioral, operational, and institutional learnings to inform future, larger-scale precision health research.
  2. Explore how data from diverse rural populations can contribute to understanding diseases and resilience factors across environments.
  3. Build frameworks for scalable community engagement, data collection, and feedback models.
Read the detailed description

Lifestyle interventions that demonstrate efficacy in clinical trials often require modification for use in outpatient or community-based settings in the real world. Indeed, implementation in rural populations will require identifying logistical adaptations with the least potential to impact efficacy. Taken together, this study aims to address key gaps in implementing personalized wellness approaches in rural populations. With this study, investigators will integrate genomic, clinical, behavioral, and functional data to support personalized wellness interventions, addressing key scientific and behavioral questions, as outlined below. The DRIVE study, will addresses the following questions:

  1. Scientifically

    1. Does genomic, clinical, behavioral, and functional data from rural adults provide relevant precision health insights?
    2. Do physical, mental and cognitive health risks, trajectories, or clinical data points differ between rural populations and prior (non-rural) study findings? If so, are there more informative biomarkers for rural populations?
    3. What biological, behavioral, and environmental interventions are most influential for increased health metrics and outcomes in rural populations?
  2. Behaviorally

    1. Examine recruiting, engagement, retention, and compliance. Identify motivational factors and barriers to each.
    2. Understand the impact of coaching and other feedback approaches on participant anxiety and empowerment.
    3. Identify participant perspective re: the number of assessments and participatory requirements

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Data-driven lifestyle intervention

    Individuals will complete genomic and phenomic assessments and then meet with a health advocate to guide personalized wellness action plans over a 4 month period.

    Other: Data-driven lifestyle coaching

Interventions

  • OtherData-driven lifestyle coaching

    Using the combination of an individual's biological data (including genomics), activity data, behavioral data, and other incoming streams of health information, the health advocate will tailor the lifestyle intervention for each participant. All information to support healthy behavior will be based on standard, published, and well-researched health data.
