Study Summary

Background: \- Past studies suggest that the best way to improve heart health in the Black community is through community-based programs. Researchers will partner with DC community leaders. They will collect information about the health and health needs of people in mostly Black churches in DC. They will study things that affect heart health, like diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight. They will also study how technology can keep track of activities and health. The information will show the health needs of church-based communities or faith-based organizations. Objectives: \- The primary objective of this study is to estimate the percentage of the population that meet ideal, intermediate, and poor criteria for each of the cardiovascular health factors (BMI, physical activity, dietary intake, blood pressure, total cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose, and cigarette smoking) in churches or faith-based organizations in the DMV area. This data will inform the design and implementation of a behavioral weight-loss intervention within the faith-based community immediately following this study. The secondary objectives are to: 1) evaluate usage of handheld devices for objectively measuring physical activity and dietary intake; 2) evaluate usage of web-based technology for monitoring cardiovascular health markers, including dietary intake; 3) examine referral methods for untreated hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia; 4) compare lifestyle behaviors across levels of psychosocial factors, cultural norms, and neighborhood environment factors; and 5) formalize a community advisory board involved in the implementation of the health screening and needs assessment program and a future behavioral weight-loss intervention. Eligibility: \- Adults ages 19 to 85 who attend one of the study churches. Design: * Participants will visit their church for a 4-hour health exam. They will have their blood pressure and body measurements taken. They will have a drop
