Summary

This study tests a peer-led program called CARE, designed to help women in rural and low-income Texas communities improve their health. Participants, aged 18 to 49 with at least one heart disease risk factor, will receive education, counseling, and social support from trained community health workers. The goal is to see if this approach can enhance quality of life and promote healthier behaviors over six months.
