A village doctor-led mobile health intervention for cardiovascular risk reduction in rural China: cluster randomised controlled trial

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of a village doctor-led mobile health intervention on cardiovascular risk reduction among residents in rural China.
Design: Cluster randomised controlled trial.
Setting:  127 villages from five provinces and autonomous regions in China.
Participants: 4533 participants from 127 villages: 2297 (64 villages) were randomly assigned to the intervention group and 2236 (63 villages) to the control group. Participants were aged ≥35 years, had no established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) but a predicted 10 year risk of ≥10%, had contracted a family doctor service with the local village doctor, and owned a smart phone.
Interventions: In addition to usual clinical care and basic public health services provided for the control group, the intervention led by village doctors included five components: assessing risk factors to identify individualised intervention targets, setting gradual goals based on doctor-participant communication, provi..., This dataset is the rawdata for the SMARTER (Strategy for cardiovascular disease prevention through tailored health Management and its effectiveness Assessment through a cluster Randomised Trial in individuals with Elevated Risk) study, and corresponds to the paper entitled \"A village doctor-led mobile health intervention for cardiovascular risk reduction in rural China: cluster randomised controlled trial\".
