Hispanic ESL class participants were self-selected and each class assigned as comparison (n=50) and experimental groups (n=50). Only the experimental group received instruction on the following FHH modules:
  • Family Traits Trivia -This FHH teaching module encourages participants to observe the shared traits of family members, as well as the combination of traits that makes them unique.

  • Pick the Risk: The Polygenic Pedigree Challenge -- Participants are challenged to track and record the passage of colored candies (representing genes) through generations of a family using a pedigree.







  • Risk Continuum - A whole-class kinesthetic demonstration of what it means to be in a "risk group" for developing heart disease based on family history/genetics.
