Phase N/A
**Sisters of Heart (Hermanas de Corazón): A Community Health Worker Initiative for Improving Heart Health in Migrant Farmworker Women** This study focuses on women farmworkers who live in rural areas and are between 18 and 45 years old. It aims to improve their heart health through a program led by Community Health Workers (CHWs). The program offers peer support and helps women find community resources to reduce stress and improve overall heart health. Researchers will compare the Sisters of Heart program to a basic support program to see if it helps participants feel less isolated and healthier. **Key Points:** - **Participation:** Must be a female migrant farmworker, fluent in English or Spanish, and plan to stay in the area for at least 6 months. - **Activities:** Participants will receive support from CHWs to improve their heart health through better social support and resource access. - **Exclusions:** Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or unable to consent due to certain health issues cannot participate. This study is important because it seeks to help an underserved group improve their heart health, potentially reducing their risk of heart disease in the future.
