SHARE Project

SHARE was an NIH-funded behavioral intervention project that represented a collaboration between the University of Michigan and the Diocese of Corpus Christi. SHARE was a primary stroke prevention project which targeted lifestyle change through a culturally-sensitive, faith-based multicomponent intervention.

Churches were randomized to intervention or control groups (who received a delayed intervention) and enrolled in a staggered fashion.

A one-year intervention consisting of self-help materials, motivational interviewing, tailored newsletters and social environmental change were implemented.

The SHARE staff was comprised of neurology professors, physicians, registered nurses and more.
