Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of hypertension (HTN), compare clinic versus home visit blood pressure (BP) control, and examine the feasibility of home BP monitoring in a vulnerable adult population. Significance: HTN control continues to be an unmet health maintenance challenge across America. This project used a community lay worker (CLW) to guide individuals in a home BP monitoring program for HTN control. Results: Individuals who were educated in…

Impact of Community Health Worker Certification on Workforce and Service Delivery for Asthma and Other Selected Chronic Diseases
TLDR
In the absence of evaluations of the relationship between certification and outcomes related to patients’ and families’ health, and dimensions of CHWs’ workforce development, the impact of CHW certification is more speculative than conclusive.

Reducing Disparities in Hypertension Control: A Community-Based Hypertension Control Project (CHIP) for an Ethnically Diverse Population
TLDR
Investigating medical, environmental, and psychosocial factors related to adherence to treatment for hypertension and examining the efficacy of three interventions designed to improve treatment adherence in a high-risk, underserved, ethnically diverse population found individualized counseling and home visits resulted in significant, sustained improvements in appointment keeping and blood pressure control status.
Health Coaching to Improve Hypertension Treatment in a Low-Income, Minority Population
TLDR
Blood pressure control in a low-income, minority population can be improved by teaching patients to monitor their blood pressure at home and having nonprofessional health coaches assist patients, in particular, by counseling them on medication adherence.
Two self-management interventions to improve hypertension control: a randomized trial.
TLDR
This trial randomly assigned 636 patients with hypertension to receive usual care; a telephone-delivered, nurse-administered behavioral self-management intervention; or both of the latter 2 interventions; or a combination of the 2 interventions with that of usual care.
Home blood pressure monitoring--a trial on the effect of a structured education program.
TLDR
The structured HBPM education program has the potential to improve patient blood pressure control at short term, but such effect appears tailing off at medium terms, and additional components may be needed to maximise and sustain the benefit of HBPM.
Counseling African Americans to Control Hypertension (CAATCH) trial: a multi-level intervention to improve blood pressure control in hypertensive blacks.
TLDR
Evaluating the effectiveness of a multilevel, multicomponent, evidence- based intervention compared with usual care in improving BP control among hypertensive blacks who receive care in community health centers will provide salient information needed for translation and dissemination of evidence-based interventions targeted at BP control into clinical practice for this high-risk population.
Blood Pressure Screenings Through Community Nursing Health Fairs: Motivating Individuals to Seek Health Care Follow-Up
TLDR
Nurse-operated health fairs, crafted to identify those with high BP readings, are promising as a simple and effective means in motivating individuals to seek follow-up care.
Effectiveness of community health workers in the care of people with hypertension.
Effects of home blood pressure measurement on long-term BP control.
TLDR
The data are suggestive of a beneficial effect of the use of cuffs for up to 18 months; however, with additional time in the study, no differences in the level of blood pressure control could be demonstrated between groups.
The counseling african americans to control hypertension (caatch) trial: baseline demographic, clinical, psychosocial, and behavioral characteristics
TLDR
A majority of patients in the CAATCH trial exhibited adverse lifestyle behaviors, and had significant medical and psychosocial barriers to adequate BP control, which will shed light on the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions for BP control when implemented in real-world medical settings that serve high numbers of low-income hypertensive African Americans.
Strategies for Implementing and Sustaining Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes as Part of Hypertension Management in African Americans
TLDR
At the patient level, culturally sensitive interventions that apply the strategies described and optimize community involvement will advance TLC in African Americans with high BP.
