Season 2 Episode 16 - Tackling Cardiovascular Disease in African Americans

from HealthCast · host GovernmentCIO Media & Research

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for African Americans, and there are a number of environmental and genetic factors behind it. The Jackson Heart Study has been ongoing for over 20 years to understand why, and we talk to one of its principal investigators at Tougaloo College, Dr. Wendy White, to understand how it's helping build trust between the U.S. medical establishment and African American communities.
