This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The Enhanced Search Your Heart Program is collaboration between Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to educate the African American community about heart disease, stroke prevention and other cardiovascular conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension (high blood pressure), and obesity. The goal of this project is to increase knowledge, awareness, and self-management of cardiovascular disease through the use of a community health worker, education sessions, and health screenings. The American Heart Association's Search Your Heart Program is a community-based educational program to reach community members who may be at risk of future heart disease and stroke. Search Your Heart delivers knowledge and action steps to your community members and encourages them to take the steps necessary to reduce their risk for heart disease and stroke. Since its inception in 1996, over 15,000 churches across the country have participated in the Search Your Heart Program and it has reached over 1.5 million at-risk participants. By empowering these individuals with information to make healthy lifestyle changes and develop heart-healthy habits, the program has enabled persons to reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke. Search Your Heart consists of 12 educational sessions and 3 health screenings. The health screenings will take place during the initial session, and at 3 months and 6 months. Participants will be screened for diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and body mass index (BMI). We will take participants' height and weight to calculate their BMI

该子项目是利用资源的众多研究子项目之一 由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 并且子项目的主要研究者可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其他 NIH 来源。 子项目可能列出的总成本 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， NCRR 赠款不直接向子项目或子项目工作人员提供资金。 加强搜索你的心脏计划是莫尔豪斯医学院 (MSM) 和美国心脏协会 (AHA) 之间的合作项目，旨在对非裔美国人社区进行有关心脏病、中风预防和其他心血管疾病（如糖尿病、高胆固醇、高血压和肥胖）的教育。该项目的目标是通过社区卫生工作者、教育课程和健康筛查来提高对心血管疾病的知识、认识和自我管理。 美国心脏协会的“搜索你的心脏”计划是一项以社区为基础的教育计划，旨在帮助那些可能面临未来心脏病和中风风险的社区成员。 “搜索你的心”向社区成员提供知识和行动步骤，并鼓励他们采取必要的措施来降低患心脏病和中风的风险。自 1996 年启动以来，全国已有 15,000 多家教会参与了“搜寻你的心”计划，该计划已惠及超过 150 万高危参与者。通过向这些人提供信息以改变健康的生活方式并养成有益于心脏健康的习惯，该计划使人们能够降低患心脏病和中风的风险。 寻找你的心由 12 场教育课程和 3 场健康检查组成。健康检查将在初次治疗期间以及 3 个月和 6 个月时进行。 参与者将接受糖尿病、高血压、高胆固醇和体重指数（BMI）筛查。 我们将根据参与者的身高和体重来计算他们的BMI
