N*E*W Educational Materials For Filipinos
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 United States. To improve heart health in
Filipinos, NHLBI has created a N*E*W series of educational
materials.

appropriate heart disease prevention programs as well as
language-appropriate community health assessment tools.
