Text

In discussing drawbacks, there were two separate references made to race made by participants in different groups. One of the responses expressed doubt that information garnered from research findings would necessarily be beneficial to Blacks in all cases. “I’ve seen so many studies where people get the information and it really doesn’t faze them. African Americans have like this high number of people that have heart disease. It’s like, you know, they still won’t change their habits. They won’t give up eating these greasy, fatty foods and exercising, and everything like that.”
