Summary

This pilot study looks at how daily experiences like stress and discrimination, health behaviors like sleep and exercise, and neighborhood factors affect heart health in Black women. Researchers will monitor 80 Black women aged 18-49 using wearable devices, surveys, and lab tests to measure blood vessel function and other biomarkers. The goal is to better understand why Black women face higher heart disease risks and find ways to improve prevention.
