NCT ID NCT07398391
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a program led by community health workers can help refugees with high blood pressure take their medication as prescribed and lower their blood pressure. The program includes an education booklet, a pill organizer, and two counseling sessions. Researchers will compare this group to another that gets a home blood pressure monitor and basic information. The study involves 250 adult refugees and will track medication adherence and blood pressure over nine months.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help refugees manage high blood pressure better.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (250 people) testing a behavioral program, not a drug. Results may not apply to all groups, and adherence improvements may not last long-term.
