New program aims to tackle high blood pressure in black communities
NCT ID NCT05208450
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program called PACE that combines nurse support, remote blood pressure monitoring, and help with social needs (like housing or food) to improve blood pressure control in Black patients. About 500 adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure will take part across 25 clinics in New York City. The goal is to see if this community-clinic approach can reduce health disparities.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Practice support and community engagement program (nurse case management, remote blood pressure monitoring, social needs support)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could provide a practical way to improve blood pressure control in Black communities, reducing health disparities.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug. Success depends on how well clinics and patients adopt the program, and results may not apply to other settings.
