Abstract

The Barbershop and Salon Health Outreach Program Toolkit (Toolkit) is a collaborative effort between the Colorado Black Health Collaborative (CBHC) and the Kaiser Permanente African American Center of Excellence (AACE), a community organization based in Denver, Colorado. The Toolkit is designed to empower community health workers, clinicians, and volunteers to launch, sustain, and monitor the success of an effective barbershop and salon outreach program. While the primary focus of the Toolkit is on screening and education for hypertension, diabetes, and HIV, there are other health education and screening programs that can be conducted in a shop that may include, and aren’t limited to, the following: • Obesity assessment (e.g., body mass index or BMI) • Physical assessments (e.g., height, weight, waist circumference , heart rate, blood pressure, grip strength, and step test) • Cholesterol screening • Health assessments • Prostate cancer screening This Toolkit was developed with flexibility in mind, allowing the users to customize their programs for their local communities and available resources. The following Table of Contents reflects the process of conceptualizing, designing, implementing, and analyzing a complete program.
