This guide, written in English and Spanish, explains how to organize and conduct two 1-hour educational sessions (charlas) on heart health targeting the Latino community. The guide comes with two educational videos in Spanish. The guide contains ideas for choosing a facilitator and advertising the charla, a list of materials needed for the sessions, background information for the facilitator, a master copy of handouts to reproduce before the sessions, and ideas for optional activities. The video For the Love of Your Heart focuses on the prevention of the risk factors for heart disease, and the video Cooking With your Heart in Mind takes viewers on a heart-healthy food shopping tour with Felícita Bernier, R.D. and shows them ways to prepare delicious heart-healthy Latino dishes. The acclaimed journalist María Elena Salinas shares her personal experience. 88 pages. NIH Publication No. 97-4050
