A recent study published in the Journal of the National Medical Association shows the effectiveness of using local barbershops to control high blood pressure and diabetes in African-American men.

African American men are diagnosed later and die more often from a variety of diseases compared to women and other racial/ethnic groups. These disparities have been acknowledged and well documented within the research literature.1 Emerging studies have even begun to elucidate the reasons for these disparities, including significant barriers to awareness and screening

This is bad news for us in the UK, we only have hairdressers these days.
