• Description:
  The CHARLAR program is implemented by the Colorado Prevention Center (CPC) in conjunction with Vuela for Health. CPC develops and implements evidence-based health promotion programs, and Vuela for Health provides community health workers (CHWs) called promotoras. They are trained, bilingual Spanish-speaking CHWs recruited from within the Hispanic/Latino community to implement day-to-day program activities. CHARLAR focuses on individuals with indicators for metabolic syndrome (a condition combining high blood pressure, high waist circumference, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, and high glucose), or whose medical provider has identified them as having a higher risk of hypertension or diabetes.
