Barbershop Based Health Interventions
The Institute barbershop program was initiated in 1997 within 10 barbershops in Brooklyn. The progress has grown to over 100 barbershops and uses innovative grassroots strategies to engage men’s interest and encourage them to seek health screening and advocate for healthier communities. BTWB is the Institute’s community based initiative to address health promotion in men, utilizing barbershops as the venue.
