Summary

This study tests a 24-week community-based lifestyle program called Inspire HER for Black women aged 30-79 with heart, kidney, or metabolic conditions. The program provides health education, physical activity, and social support to improve heart health. Researchers will also compare how Black women and men respond differently to stress. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: community-based lifestyle intervention (health education, physical activity, social support)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a scalable program to reduce heart disease risk in Black women.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early feasibility study (90 participants) focused on whether the program is practical and acceptable, not on proving health outcomes. Results may not apply outside the Birmingham area.
