Building a Multidisciplinary Research Program to Address Hypertension Disparities: Exploring the Neurocognitive Mechanisms of a Self-Management Intervention for African American Women
Sponsor: University of Michigan
Summary
The goal of this project is to develop and pilot test a research protocol to assess the influence of a health information behavior enhanced intervention on self-management, blood pressure control, and brain activity in African American women with hypertension. This work will identify characteristics of African American women that are associated with improved self-management and decreased blood pressure, and subsequent reduction of risk of heart disease and premature death. The results of this project will have direct impact in informing interventions to improve blood pressure control, by advancing our knowledge of brain activity associated with behavior change in African American women with hypertension in the metro-Detroit area, and ultimately everywhere.

Sharing Intervention
intervention includes both analytic and socioemotional components related to self-management of hypertension and is specifically targeted to African American women. Along with providing education on lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure, DASH diet, exercise, and medication adherence (analytic components), the intervention is designed to promote social activities around blood pressure self-management, in particular, sharing blood pressure management information with peers (socioemotional components).
