BLACK
WOMEN’S WELLNESS STUDY....
The
Project is a test site for a national weight management
program being developed by the National Black Women’s
Health Project in conjunction with the University of
Pennsylvania. This program is funded by the National
Institutes of Health. We recruited a select group of women
to participate in this 18-month study. The study helps women
identify the emotional and cultural aspects of their eating
habits with a goal of changing eating behaviors to help them
live healthier lives. This project hopes to be the first
to develop an effective weight management program for Black
women who suffer disproportionately from the negative health
outcomes of obesity.

Health Concern:
We have to put
ourselves first when it comes to health. Women
support and nurture everyone else, if we don’t take
care of ourselves first, we will not be able to take
care of our children. This is the time to put self
first.
