Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Strong Hearts, Healthy Communities

We will evaluate the efficacy of the SHHC curriculum in a 24-week community-based randomized controlled intervention trial. We will compare changes in CVD-related anthropometric, physiologic, behavioral, and psychosocial parameters between subjects in 8 intervention and 8 control communities. In addition, we will evaluate changes in behavior, attitudes, and knowledge among SHHC intervention subjects' "social network".

BEHAVIORAL

Strong Hearts, Healthy Women

The Strong Hearts, Healthy Women (minimal intervention) will meet once per month for an hour each time for 6 months. Participants will learn and discuss techniques and strategies to improve personal health.
