Abstract

ABSTRACT: Faith-based health programs reach broad populations and can reduce health disparities. Nurses working in communities and churches can promote health behaviors that may reduce the incidence and impact of chronic conditions. This 5-week faith-based health outreach resulted in improvement of health-promoting behaviors, including better stress management, among women.
