Summary

This study looks at whether training peer coaches can help patients with limited health literacy talk to their doctors about preventing heart disease. About 60 adults at risk for heart disease will work with a peer coach before a doctor visit. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients discuss key prevention steps like taking aspirin, controlling blood pressure, and managing cholesterol.
