Summary

This study tests whether having older adults (65+) with high blood pressure and multiple chronic diseases measure their own blood pressure at home, with or without support from a clinical pharmacist, can lower their blood pressure over 12 months. About 930 participants will be split into two groups: one using self-measured blood pressure alone, and the other adding pharmacist guidance. The goal is to find a practical strategy that works for high-risk groups like rural and Black older adults.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Self-measured blood pressure monitoring with clinical pharmacist support
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a practical, scalable way to improve blood pressure control in older adults with multiple health issues, especially in rural or Black populations.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral intervention study, not a drug trial, so results may vary by clinic and patient adherence. The benefit over standard care may be modest.
