Breonna Taylor / Black Lives Matter Protest on October 17th, 2020 in New York City.
This protest was supported by Street Riders NYC, a prominent NYC bicycle activist group.
The prevalence of high blood pressure among black adults in the United States is among the highest in the world, according to the American Heart Association. More than 40% of non-Hispanic black men and women have high blood pressure.
Black Americans also develop high blood pressure more often and at an earlier age than whites and Hispanics, according to the CDC.
According to a new study, barbershops in the African-American community could help men reduce and control their blood pressure.
Medical mistrust has been an important barrier to African-Americans seeking health care, and so the barbershop -- where men go on a monthly basis and have an opportunity to develop a rapport with a trusted key opinion leader in the community -- that rapport is a perfect foundation for talking about health and checking their blood pressure.
With your donation, we will be able to equip 20 barbershops with blood pressure monitors. In doing so, we can help inform men of their blood pressure so that they may receive treatment or make lifestyle changes.
Her face says it all like save them crocodile tears for someone who cares 😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/BupqqwCHUsd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bp8ffd9mh46x
