Abstract
We present the evaluation of a pilot videotape training program for older African American women in constructive conflict resolution. The program was developed because research shows: (a) older African American women suffer disproportionately from hypertension, (b) hypertension is linked to anger inhibition, and (c) older African American women tend to inhibit their anger in interpersonal conflict. Community-dwelling and institutionalized older women participated in the training. Evaluation findings indicate that the training led to increased knowledge of health-promoting skills for handling conflict, and that providing a brief group intervention in a familiar, non-stigmatizing setting may be an effective means of mental health promotion for older African American women.
