This study looked at a community health worker–led weight program for low-income Latina women during the first year of COVID-19. Participants lost weight and reduced waist size, even those facing food insecurity, at a time when many others were gaining weight. The results suggest that support and practical health education from community health workers can help people improve their health, even during major crises.
