What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This trial tests whether a community health worker-led education program, called Heart Health and Nutrition for Life (HHNL), can help people with high blood pressure lower their numbers. The program covers healthy eating, physical activity, medication adherence, stress reduction, and avoiding alcohol and tobacco, all delivered with cultural sensitivity. About 240 patients from First Nations Community HealthSource in Albuquerque will be split into two groups: one receives the education plus standard care and blood pressure self-monitoring, while the other gets standard care and self-monitoring alone. After six months, the groups switch so everyone receives the education. Researchers will track blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, blood sugar, and emotional well-being over a year to see if this community-rooted approach improves outcomes more than standard care alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a community health worker-led educational program on healthy eating, physical activity, medication adherence, stress reduction, and avoidance of alcohol and tobacco
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a practical, community-rooted way to improve blood pressure control and reduce heart disease risk in underserved groups.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small trial (240 participants) testing a behavioral intervention, which can be harder to standardize and may show only modest effects. Results may not apply broadly beyond the specific communities studied.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 240 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Feb 2025

Expected to finish

Nov 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 84 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Currently a FNCH patient or are willing and able to become a FNCH patient * Current diagnosis of hypertension that was not onset due to pregnancy * Able to speak and read English or Spanish * Cognitively and physically able to independently understand and complete study procedures and provide written informed consent * Self-report at least one systolic blood pressure reading of 130 or greater in the last six months OR show a systolic blood pressure reading of 130 or greater in baseline screening * Live in and receive mail in Albuquerque, New Mexico Exclusion Criteria: * By design, adults unable to consent, individuals not yet adults, and prisoners will not be included in this study. * Patients who self-report pregnancy will be automatically excluded from the study. While the investigators are not systematically screening for pregnancy throughout the study, if an individual self-reports pregnancy during the study, they will be withdrawn from study participation and offered the opportunity to re-join the study once no longer pregnant, if activities are still available, following general study procedures. * Individuals who are not able to complete study procedures due to mental or behavioral health conditions, incarceration, or inability to physically bear an arm cuff will also be excluded from the study.
