The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of a 12-week behavioral counseling intervention that has been integrated into the primary care setting on psychosocial, behavioral, and health outcomes in a large sample of adults with at least one CVD risk factor. Aim 1: Evaluate the efficacy of a 12-week behavioral counseling intervention on psychosocial outcomes of adults with at least one CVD risk factor. H1: We hypothesize participants will improve their behavioral regulation skills and habit formation skills over 12 weeks. Aim 2: Evaluate the efficacy of a 12-week behavioral counseling intervention on behavioral outcomes (physical activity, diet, and sleep) of adults with at least one CVD risk factor. H2: We hypothesize participants will improve PA (daily steps), diet (total daily kilocalories), and sleep (sleep time, sleep efficiency) over the 12-week intervention. Aim 3: Evaluate the efficacy of a 12-week behavioral counseling intervention on health outcomes (blood pressure, weight, waist circumference, body composition, quality of life) of adults with at least one CVD risk factor. H3: We hypothesize participants will improve blood pressure, weight, waist circumference, body composition, quality of life over the 12-week intervention.
