This fact sheet outlines strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease using the Bay Area Regional Health Inequities Initiative (BARHII) model. An overview of each approach, possible interventions, and examples of partners working on each part of the model are included. The fact sheet was prepared by the California Chronic Disease Prevention Leadership Project and includes examples from the 2018, 2019, and planned 2020 Public Health and Healthcare Convenings. It is informed by the CDPH The Burden of Chronic Disease, Injury, and Environmental Exposure, California, 2020, Second Edition Report (PDF).
Spotlight on Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Heart Disease, April 2019
Infographic on Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Heart Disease (PDF) from the National Center for Health Statistics is now available online on CDCās website. This infographic explores racial and ethnic disparities in heart disease in the U.S. including:
- Heart disease deaths
- Reported heart disease prevalence
- Heart disease risk factors (diabetes, obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol)
CDPH is addressing the issue of hypertension through many initiatives that seek to eliminate these health disparities and achieve the highest level of health equity for all Californians.
Healthy Hearts California is a dynamic alliance of individuals and organizations working together to reduce the burden of heart disease and stroke in the state of California. Through a coordinated and integrated approach, Healthy Hearts California implements planned activities to address the goals and targets of Letās Get Healthy California, The California Wellness Plan, the Million Hearts Initiative, and the American Heart Associationās Target: BP Initiative.

CDCās Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
CDC highlighted a study in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly report in mid-July in which DHDSP analyzed data from 20 states and D.C. on Use of Aspirin for Prevention of Recurrent Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Among Adults. Disparities were found based on age, sex, race/ethnicity, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk status. The estimates found that interventions targeting specific subgroups, such as those younger than age 65, women, and black and Hispanic patients might reduce disparities in use.
