Summary

This trial tests a program called TEAM, designed to help people at high risk for stroke lower their risk factors. The program involves nurses and peer educator pairs working with patients and their care partners through one-on-one and group sessions. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce blood pressure and other stroke risk factors over six months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: TEAM (TargetEd MAnageMent) - a behavioral intervention delivered by nurses and peer educator dyads
What this could lead to: If effective, this program could offer a practical, community-based way to reduce stroke risk in high-risk populations, potentially lowering blood pressure and improving health outcomes.
What could go wrong: The trial is relatively small and the intervention is behavioral, so results may vary. Success depends on participant engagement and adherence, and the effect on stroke risk reduction may not be definitive.
