This webinar will provide an overview of CHEERS, a study being conducted in partnership with the Chickasaw Nation. CHEERS comprises several mutually reinforcing strategies to improve blood pressure control among American Indian adults with uncontrolled hypertension. Study findings, including a health economics assessment, will be used to promote policies to expand both the Packed Promise for a Healthy Heart intervention and the establishment of brick-and-mortar grocery outlets in rural Chickasaw Nation communities.
