NCT ID NCT05671302
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program called Walk Together, which helps African American adults with high blood pressure and their family members work as a team to manage the condition. The program included training on using a blood pressure cuff, setting health goals, and improving communication. The study enrolled 62 people and focused on whether the program was practical and well-liked, not on whether it actually lowered blood pressure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Walk Together family-based behavioral intervention
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could provide a practical, family-supported way to help African Americans better manage high blood pressure in primary care.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small feasibility study with only 62 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention requires a family member to participate, which may not be possible for everyone.
