First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests whether a church-based program led by community health workers can reduce heart disease risk in Black adults in New Orleans. Over 800 participants from local churches will receive either a health education group or a more intensive program with coaching, home blood pressure monitoring, and help managing medications. The goal is to see if this approach can lower risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol, and ultimately reduce racial inequalities in heart health.
