Blood pressure cuffs and health classes: a new approach to close a heart health gap
NCT ID NCT05873153
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether providing health education materials and a home blood pressure monitor can help Somali community members in the Greater Mankato area better identify, manage, and prevent high blood pressure. Participants receive simple tools and guidance on diet, exercise, and weight management. The goal is to see if this community-based approach increases follow-up with a primary care provider and reduces cardiovascular health disparities.
