This study tests a program called RiSE that helps African American women cope with race-based stress. Researchers want to see if it improves well-being, reduces inflammation, and changes DNA markers. 300 post-menopausal women aged 50-75 with heart or metabolic risk factors will join either the RiSE program or a general health education class for 8 weeks.
