Can better outreach fix hypertension gaps? UCLA launches large study
NCT ID NCT06359691
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether patient- and provider-focused strategies can help more people control their blood pressure. About 540 adults with hypertension from Los Angeles County clinics will take part. Clinics are randomly assigned to receive either provider outreach, patient outreach, or usual care. The goal is to see which approach works best to 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
- Behavioral interventions (patient and provider education, home BP monitoring, nurse-led medication titration)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show how to better manage blood pressure in diverse populations, reducing health gaps.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results may vary by clinic and patient engagement. It is also limited to Los Angeles County, so findings may not apply elsewhere.
