Project Summary
Women's awareness of their risk for CVD decreased from 2009 to 2019. Women's awareness of heart disease as the leading cause of death for women decreased from 65% in 2009 to 44% in 2019. Greatest declines in awareness were in Hispanic women followed closely by Black women. The decline in awareness was most stark in women aged 25 to 34 years which represents the optimal time to increase awareness of risk for primary prevention.

The decline in awareness was most stark in women aged 25 to 34 years which represents the optimal time to increase awareness of risk for primary prevention.
The aims of the study were: 1) to evaluate the usability of a fully automated chatbot named "HeartBot" designed to increase women's knowledge and awareness of their risk for heart attack and, 2) increase women's knowledge of symptoms and when to seek care.
