Steps Forward/Pasos Adelante Curriculum
A curriculum that focuses on healthy food choices and preparation, chronic disease risk, community health, and participant advocacy
According to the Canyon Ranch Center for Promotion for Prevention and Health Promotion, this curriculum is an adaptation of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) program Your Heart, Your Life/Su corazón, su vida.
The adaptation of the curriculum occurred in partnership with community health outreach workers from the Mariposa Community Health Center (MCHC) in Nogales, Arizona and Regional Center for Border Health, Inc./Western Area Health Education Center (RCBH/WAHEC) in Somerton, Arizona and faculty and staff at The University of Arizona Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health. This program expands the NHLBI’s Your Heart, Your Life/Su corazón, su vida curriculum to include additional information about diabetes, community advocacy, and how to organize walking groups. Information on emotional/mental health, regular physical activity, and healthy food choices has also been included in this new adaptation.
