Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
o Do CHWs who complete the web-based healthy living training have higher self-efficacy in implementing core lifestyle intervention learning components for obesity interventions in Hispanics than CHWs who do not?
Participants will:
* Complete a baseline survey asking about self-efficacy related to implementing core lifestyle intervention learning components, knowledge, health behaviors, and skill mastery.
* Be randomized to receive the new web-based training or to a standard CHW training designed by Health and Human Services. The new web-based training provides promotores with the self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills required to effectively implement an obesity intervention for Hispanic women. Promotores will build their skillset through interactive quizzes, exercises, video role-playing scenarios, and interactive tools.
* Complete follow-up surveys at 3 months and 6 months after the baseline survey. This survey will ask the same questions as the baseline survey and will include additional questions regarding satisfaction with training and behavior application.
Researchers will compare participants who receive the new web-based training to participants who utilize the HHS training. The goal is to see whether the new web-based training increases self-efficacy among CHWs to effectively implement core lifestyle learning components for obesity interventions in Hispanics.

Web-based Comadres Saludables CHW Training
Experimental group participants will have access to the web-based Comadres Saludables training for three months.
Comadres Saludables
Comadres Saludables is a web-based healthy living training for community health workers aimed at addressing obesity in Latinas. Comadres Saludables will combine both theory and evidence-based practices to provide participants with the self-efficacy, knowledge, and skills required to effectively implement an obesity intervention for Hispanic women. Participants (CHWs) will build their skillset through interactive quizzes, exercises, and video role-playing scenarios. Additionally, Comadres Saludables allows participants to utilize interactive mHealth tools to enhance implementation with Hispanic women. Participants will access the training for three months.
HHS Promoting Healthy Choices and Community Changes
Control condition participants will receive information on how to access the HHS CHW Promoting Healthy Choices and Community Changes training. They will be asked to review for three months.
Control
Participants will access the web-based HHS Promoting Healthy Choices and Community Changes that includes a variety of content via text, audio, and video. The information is designed to educate CHWs on how to implement health interventions for positive community change. They are asked to review it for three months.
