This Cultural Intervention uses E-CHANGE, the computer based
interactive intervention that consists of a sequence of nurse-led activities designed to increase cardiac
patients exercise maintenance. Using focus groups, the perceptions and experiences of African American
women's and men's adoption of exercise following cardiac rehabilitation will be determined and their suggestions
and reactions to the electronic intervention to increase exercise will be incorporated in a future development of
the computer based intervention.
