First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding a 10-week health coaching program from a community health worker to remote blood pressure monitoring helps women who had high blood pressure during pregnancy. 240 women will be followed for 6 months after delivery. The goal is to see if the combined approach improves blood pressure control, heart health, and well-being.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help women manage their blood pressure after pregnancy and reduce future heart disease risk.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage behavioral study. The results may not apply to all women, and the coaching program may not produce lasting changes in blood pressure or heart health.
