Black males live the shortest and sickest lives compared to all other demographic groups.
Chronic diseases, often lifestyle-related, disproportionately affect Black men due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. These include limited access to healthy food, less engagement in physical activity, higher stress levels, and the lack of preventative healthcare. Recognizing these unique challenges, AAHP has tailored its programming to more effectively reach and engage Black men. Through culturally competent education, outreach, and support services, AAHP aims to empower Black men with the knowledge and resources needed to take proactive steps towards their health.
