Overall Study Objective and
Specific Aims• Compare the efficacy of heart failure self-care education plus a patient navigator-
delivered self-care plan (Education + PN arm) with heart failure self-care education alone (Educational Control arm) in a randomized control trial among African American men with heart failure
• Specific Aims
1. To assess the 30-day all-cause readmission rates among male African American HF patients receiving HF self-care education plus a patient navigator-delivered self-care plan versus HF self-care education alone
2. To assess the HF self-efficacy and heart failure self-care adherence among male African American HF patients receiving HF self-care education plus a patient navigator-delivered self-care plan versus HF self-care education alone
3. To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of HF self-care education plus a patient navigator-delivered self-care plan versus HF self-care education alone
