NCT ID NCT05330221
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a program using community health workers and medication can lower blood pressure and prevent heart failure in 364 adults from Detroit and Cleveland. Participants with high blood pressure or risk factors will receive personalized support and medication. The goal is to see if this approach improves heart health over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Community health worker support and antihypertensive medication
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that combining community health worker support with medication effectively lowers blood pressure and reduces heart failure risk in underserved communities.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage study (364 participants) focused on specific cities, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is complex and relies on participant adherence.
