Summary

This study tests whether a program called Sisters for Heart Health can help farmworker women ages 18-50 reduce stress, feel less isolated, and improve their heart health. Participants will join weekly peer support groups led by trained community health workers for 10 weeks. The study will compare their progress to women who only receive basic health information. The goal is to see if this approach can lower risks for heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
