Summary

The overall aim of the study was to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a cardiovascular disease risk reduction intervention program for midlife, low-income women. We enhanced an existing nutrition and physical activity intervention tool, A New Leaf...Choices for Healthy Living, which was designed specifically for this demographic group as part of the CDC's WISEWOMAN Program. The enhanced intervention was tested in a randomized controlled trial in a community health center setting.
