Proposals to fund a Connecticut municipality, local health department or local health district to develop and conduct healthy lifestyle programs for women. The programs must address modifiable risk factors for heart disease and stroke for women and include the following heart disease and stroke prevention priorities established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: controlling high blood pressure (HBP); controlling high cholesterol (HBC); recognition of signs and symptoms of heart attack and stroke and the importance of calling 9-1-1; and reducing other heart disease and stroke risk factors (tobacco use, diabetes, physical inactivity, and/or poor nutrition, etc.).
