Barbershops Help African-American Men Tackle This Critical Health Problem
- 6 years ago
Barbershops could significantly lower high blood pressure in black men in the United States.
A new study shows a pharmacist-led program led to significant blood pressure drops in African-American men.
Many older black men tend to avoid seeing the doctor until they have a serious health problem.
The reasons why sometimes involve a deep-rooted distrust of the medical community.
Many men also face geographic, cultural or other barriers to accessing adequate health care.
