Abstract
Brazilian Americans represent an underserved population at risk for undiagnosed and uncontrolled hypertension. Despite evidence of need, there is a striking absence of U.S.-based research focused on this group. Community-engaged research and targeted interventions—such as bilingual screening programs and cost-access initiatives—are urgently needed to address disparities and reduce the public health burden of hypertension in this growing community.
