Your Heart, Your Life: A Lay Health Educator’s Manual for the Hispanic Community

Lessons provide information for understanding, skill building, self-assessment, and goal-setting for healthy lifestyle changes. Includes culturally appropriate teaching scripts, learning activities, and reproducible handouts. Interactive activities use telenovelas, photonovelas, role play, problem-solving, and discussion. Latino role models and family contexts appear throughout. Available in Spanish and English.
