Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this interventional study is to develop and assess the effectiveness of a peer-led digital health program (MYCardio-PEER) for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a low-income community at-risk of CVD.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is MYCardio-PEER effective in improving knowledge, lifestyle behaviors and CVD biomarkers of a low-income community at-risk for CVD?
* Is there an association between MYCardio-PEER participants' adherence and satisfaction, with effectiveness and sustainability of the program?

Participants will attend the 8-weeks MYCardio-PEER program with their peer leaders, supplemented with face-to-face components. Participants will then be followed up for another 12 weeks, during which peer leaders and researchers will have minimal contact with the participants. Participants who have been allocated into the control group will receive printed documents with standard tips on dietary and lifestyle management for CVD, where they will be encouraged to maintain regular calorie intake and expenditure and perform regular exercise.

Intervention

Participants will attend the 8-weeks MYCardio-PEER program with their peer leaders, supplemented with face-to-face components.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MYCardio-PEER

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

MYCardio-PEER participants will attend an 8-weeks intervention program delivered over the social networking application. Bite-sized videos and infographic posters on healthy diet and lifestyle for primary prevention of CVD will be delivered weekly, supplemented by interactive peer-group activities to encourage behavior change.

Control

Participants will receive printed documents with standard tips on dietary and lifestyle management for CVD.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
