Cooking for Your Health in Southern New Mexico Nutritional Intervention

This study, called "Cooking for Your Health in Southern New Mexico," is testing an 8-week program designed to improve eating habits and knowledge about nutrition and cancer prevention. It's for adults in Doña Ana and Otero Counties, where there are higher rates of cancer and obesity often linked to diet. The program aims to teach healthier cooking methods, especially since traditional Mexican diets, while healthy, can be time-consuming. The study is looking at how many people join, stay involved, and complete the program. You can join if you are 18 or older, fluent in English or Spanish, and can attend the cooking sessions. The study is currently recruiting participants.
