This Project Grant award of $779,148 from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) under CFDA 93.361 - Nursing Research supports the "HERMANAS DE CORAZON: A Community Health Worker Initiative for Improving Heart Health in Migrant Latina Farmworker Women" project led by Emory University.
The project aims to address cardiovascular disease (CVD) disparities among rural, migrant Latina farmworker women through a community health worker/promotora-led peer support and community resource navigation intervention. The key products and services to be delivered include:
-
Assessing the effectiveness of the "Hermanas de Corazon" intervention in decreasing stress, social isolation, and cardiometabolic risk factors, and increasing social support and access to social determinants of health (SDOH) resources.
-
Examining potential mediating effects among the psychosocial, SDOH, and cardiometabolic variables.
-
Evaluating barriers and facilitators to implementation and implementation outcomes.
The project leverages a long-standing community partnership and aims to build capacity of Latina community health workers and strengthen partnerships among stakeholders to address health disparities in this underserved population.
