CVD is the leading cause of death among individuals with MASLD, a risk factor for liver cancer. In Southern Arizona, CVD and cancer (including liver and gastric cancer) are among the leading causes of death for Mexican-origin adults.1 Given Mexican-origin adults' disproportionate burden of CVD-related mortality37 and higher rates of MASLD compared to other ethnic/racial groups; we urgently need to develop contextually tailored strategies for management of CVD risk factors and outcomes. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the acceptability and feasibility of a community health worker (CHW)-led intervention aimed to increase cardiovascular risk awareness and promote lifestyle modifications among Mexican-origin adults with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) in the Southern Arizona region. The proposed project has the potential to improve health outcomes for this vulnerable population and contribute to the ACS-CHERC's overarching goal of improving health equity for Hispanic communities and family caregivers.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
Trained CHWs will facilitate educational sessions where participants will learn about heart-healthy behaviors, heart attack symptoms, heart-healthy eating for Hispanic families, and risk factors for both CVD and MASLD. Participants will also be taught behavioral change techniques including goal setting, problem solving, and relapse prevention. Specifically, participants will be asked to collaborate in selecting specific lifestyle goals and to develop shared strategies for improving adherence to their goals, overcoming barriers, and providing support to address potential relapses. Curriculum content will be supplemented by a variety of approaches designed to motivate behavior change including videos, role play, and low-literacy culturally appropriate brochures published by NHLBI.
Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks
A composite score modeled after the American Heart Association Life's Essential Eight will be computed. Independent scores for diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure, sleep health, body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose, and blood pressure will be calculated and then transformed into a graded score ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).
