Abstract
Barbershop based hypertension screening and treatment interventions have been substantiated across prior literature as cost-effective and highly efficacious interventions for reducing overall blood pressure in the African American community. Researchers have also begun to explore the applicability of such an intervention to another high risk ethnic group for hypertension: Hispanic and Latino communities. With >30% of Danbury, CT's population being comprised of Hispanic and Latino populations and barbershop interventions for hypertension having already been established in the nearby city of New Haven, CT via Yale Health, this community engagement project aims to take the first step towards establishing similar services here in Danbury via Nuvance Health.
