About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a culturally-adapted intervention can improve cardiovascular health in American Indian women.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Can this intervention realistically work for American Indian women? * Do American Indian women find the intervention acceptable? * Does the intervention help improve cardiovascular health in American Indian women? Researchers will compare the intervention group to a control group (a group that does not receive the intervention) to see whether the cardiovascular health of the intervention group improves.
Participants will:
* Attend 3 data collections over 3 months. * Be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or a control group. * (Intervention group participants) attend 8 weekly classes.
