Preventive Cardiology - P3-EX
The investigators will conduct a feasibility and pilot efficacy randomized controlled trial to test the usability and user satisfaction of an evidence-based digital health tool the investigators developed for physicians to use to Prioritize Personalize Prescribe EXercise (P3-EX) to patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. The investigators will recruit 24 physicians to deliver a P3-EX exercise prescription (ExRx) to one of their patients and the American College of Sports Medicine Physical Activity Vital Sign (ACSM-PAVS) ExRx to the other in a random sequence crossover design.
