Summary

This study is testing whether an 8-week telephone-based mindfulness program (MIND-BP) can help Black women with high blood pressure lower their blood pressure and reduce stress. The study will compare the mindfulness program to a general support group (BOOST). 300 Black women from the Jackson Heart Study will participate. The main goal is to see if the mindfulness group has a greater drop in blood pressure after 6 months.
