Summary

This study looked at whether visits from a parish nurse (a nurse from a church) can help people with high blood pressure lower their numbers. About 100 adults from church health fairs in Los Angeles took part. Half were assigned to see a parish nurse, and the other half went to their regular doctor. After 4 months, the researchers checked if the nurse visits led to better blood pressure control and medication use.
