"We worked together to change things about our lives": a longitudinal qualitative analysis exploring Hispanic/Latino and Somali immigrant health promoters' perspectives on a social network intervention to address cardiovascular disease disparities.

Background: Evidence-based health promotion programs are commonly assessed within research environments, yet there is a critical need to understand how to implement interventions across multiple settings, prioritizing populations who are underserved and under-resourced. A possible approach involves leveraging established social networks to enhance health outcomes. Within these networks, influential individuals, known as health promoters (HPs), play a key role in disseminating health information.
