Arms

  • Experimental: CARE Intervention Arm
    Participants will have up to 60 minute scripted health conversations with a Community Health Worker (CHW) across four visits to leverage opportunities during conversations to address flawed information and provide accurate information about quality of life, wellness, and mental health (Session #1); blood pressure (Session #2); nutrition (Session #3); and physical activity (Session #4).
  • No Intervention: CARE Control Arm
    Participants in the control group will receive no intervention, but will be invited to participate in the intervention (health education sessions) after the 6-month follow-up period has been completed.

Primary Outcome Measure

Health-related Quality of Life [ Time Frame: From Baseline, end of intervention (following completion of Health Education Session #4; the intervention was designed to last 4 weeks but may be extended due to scheduling considerations), 3 months post-intervention, 6 months post-intervention. ]
