> its initial distribution, The Women Breathe Free workbook has gone through several adaptations to reach a wider audience.

> using their current materials.

> Why:
>
> This program is currently being disseminated by 5 partners across the country. Therefore, the demographics and environments of the 
> target population vary greatly. It is important that the materials are general enough to appeal to the many potential users who 
> likely differ in key demographics such as age, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and education level.
