Abstract:
Barbershops and beauty salons provide community-specific opportunities to engage in cardiovascular disease screening and prevention. This editorial articulates the advantages of what is termed the "barbershop paradigm," the community-engaged endeavor that leverages familiarity, trust, and stakeholder engagement to advance cardiovascular health. The authors summarize the neighborhood-based factors that contribute to cardiovascular health, and then identify the strategies implemented by ShopTalk and their specific advantages.
