Black women, ACEs, and heart disease: Please encourage Black women from Georgia, Florida, Alabama and North Carolina to participate in "Our Heart Study."
The purpose of my study entitled Our Heart Study is to understand the factors that increase the risk of heart disease in Black women and the factors that protect them. Health inequities greatly impact Black women in the South. Black women are at risk for poor health outcomes, especially heart disease, because they experience a disproportionate amount of stress related to racism, sexism and often classism.
