First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether visits from parish nurses (faith community nurses) can help people with high blood pressure lower their numbers. Researchers recruited 100 adults from church health fairs in Los Angeles and randomly assigned them to either nurse visits or regular doctor appointments. After 4 months, they checked if the nurse visits led to better blood pressure control and medication use.
