NCT ID NCT04755153
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a community program centered in churches can help people on Chicago's South Side better control their blood pressure. Researchers will work with local health workers and church leaders to adapt proven strategies from a large health system. The goal is to see if this approach can lower blood pressure and be sustained in an underserved urban community.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a church-based program helps people in underserved communities better manage their blood pressure, reducing heart disease risk.
