An Intervention to Reduce Readmission Rates in Young Women with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
- Study HIC#:2000026617
- Last Updated:02/02/2024
We are recruiting young women (18-55 years) who experienced a recurrent heart attack to participate in an American Heart Association (AHA) funded research project. The goal of this project is to develop a behavioral intervention to reduce readmission rates and improve outcomes for young women following an acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Women can complete one or both activities:
- One 30-minute interview
- One focus group meeting
$25 gift card provided as a thank you.

Trial Purpose and Description
Specific Aim 1: To develop and validate a risk prediction model of 1-year post-AMI readmission among young women. Specific Aim 2: To identify key barriers/motivators related to the experiences of young women who are readmitted, informed by the predictors ascertained from the risk model. Specific Aim 3: To develop a sex and gender based tailored intervention to reduce each young woman s probability of readmission within 1-year of hospitalization for AMI. This research will involve an iterative process involving stakeholder reviews, education, training, evidence reviews, focus groups, and WOOPadaptation.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Women 18 - 55 years old
- Have had a prior heart attack – and have been admitted to Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNHH) within the past year.
