Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Adult (18 years of age or older) African-American male
- Regular (unsolicited) customer of this barbershop.
- There is no upper age limit
Exclusion
- Self-assigned race/ethnicity other than African-American/ non-Hispanic black
- Female gender
- In barbershops that cater to African-American men, approximately 2% of the clientele are women. The female customers will not be surveyed but may be offered a free blood pressure screening.
- Age \< 18
- Children will not be surveyed because the prevalence of the condition being studied (hypertension) is low and does not justify the added logistical difficulties in obtaining informed consent. Although the population surveyed will be restricted to adult black men, the barbershop provides an excellent setting to foster blood pressure screening in children and adolescents who comprise 15-20% of the barbershop clientele. During the study period, staff may offer blood pressure screening to all children accompanied by a parent and to all adolescents.
