Clinic coaching boosts blood pressure control in latino patients
NCT ID NCT03713515
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving extra help to clinics (called practice facilitation) improves how well they follow a program to help patients take their blood pressure medicine. The study included 652 Latino adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure who were not taking their medication regularly. The main goal was to see if clinics could better screen, refer, and enroll patients into the program, and also whether patients' blood pressure and medication adherence improved after 12 months.
