Summary
This completed study tested a 12-week program that gave African American and Latinx patients with high blood pressure a home blood pressure cuff and regular calls from a community health worker, nurse, pharmacist, and social worker. The goal was to see if this support could help more patients get their blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg. The study enrolled 445 adults at Rush University Medical Center clinics.
