Filipinos Take It to Heart: A How-To Guide for Bringing Heart Health to Your Community

It may surprise you to know that one out of three Filipinos die from heart disease. Filipinos have the highest rates of hypertension of all Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) groups in the US. Eating foods high in sodium, saturated fat and cholesterol - and smoking - all impact a person's heart health negatively. Filipinos Take It to Heart is designed for community health educators and outreach organizations. The guide provides tips and checklists on how to organize, market, implement, and evaluate a community-based program in any setting. Included in the guide are handouts, 30-minute slide presentation, and discussion questions on heart disease, its risk factors, and how to prevent the disease. Filipinos Take It to Heart can be your resource to help spread the word about how to improve heart health in the Filipino community. # 56-11N. 71 pages.
