There is highly consistent and convergent evidence that this population is at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Filipinos, particularly new immigrants, are susceptible to stress from work and family issues. Some of their coping strategies include unhealthy eating and smoking.

Results from this study indicate that while Vietnamese in the United States are concerned about their overall cardiovascular health, they have little to no knowledge about heart disease or its risk factors. Many are new immigrants and do not seek proper health care services because of language barriers, confusion over the American health care system, financial difficulties, and time constraints.
