- Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new web-based promotora de salud/ community health worker (CHW) training. This training is designed to provide CHWs with the knowledge and skills to effectively implement a healthy living intervention for Latinas. The main question it aims to answer is:
o Do CHWs who complete the web-based healthy living training have higher self-efficacy in implementing core lifestyle intervention learning components for obesity interventions in Hispanics than CHWs who do not?
Participants will:
* Complete a baseline survey asking about self-efficacy related to implementing core lifestyle intervention learning components, knowledge, health behaviors, and skill mastery.
* Be randomized to receive the new web-based training or to a standard CHW training designed by Health and Human Services. The new web-based training provides promotores with the self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills required to effectively implement an obesity intervention for Hispanic women. Promotores will build their skillset through interactive quizzes, exercises, video role-playing scenarios, and interactive tools.
* Complete follow-up surveys at 3 months and 6 months after the baseline survey. This survey will ask the same questions as the baseline survey and will include additional questions regarding satisfaction with training and behavior application.
Researchers will compare participants who receive the new web-based training to participants who utilize the HHS training. The goal is to see whether the new web-based training increases self-efficacy among CHWs to effectively implement core lifestyle learning components for obesity interventions in Hispanics.
