Background: The goals of the Utah WISEWOMAN program for the
five-year project period are to maximize the reach of the program by
providing services to as many Utah women as possible; work to eliminate
health disparities by serving those most in need, decrease heart disease
and stroke risk factors of Utah’s WISEWOMAN population; maximize the
number and variety and settings that deliver WISEWOMAN screening, risk
reduction counseling, and lifestyle interventions; ensure that the
program is delivered as intended; sustain the benefits of WISEWOMAN over
time at both the individual and organizational level, and create a
system change that will ensure that women screened in Utah’s Breast and
Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (BCCEDP) will be simultaneously
screened in the Utah WISEWOMAN program.
Target Population: Uninsured and underinsured women between
the ages of 40 and 64 who live at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty
Level.
Lifestyle Intervention: A New Leaf: Choices for Healthy
Living.
