PRESSURE CHECK: Find Your Path to Better Health
Sponsor: Yale University
Summary
This study seeks to develop the evidence for a sustainable, community-partnered, multi-level health system strategy to improve blood pressure control. Two team-based approaches are being tested: 1) a medical model of remote BP management (RBPM) alone, and 2) RBPM plus a social model with a community health worker (CHW). These 2 strategies are being compared with a standard community screening program with referral to primary care.

Community Health Worker (CHW)
Participants will receive the additional support of a Community Health Worker (CHW); specific activities include: support with home BP monitoring, reminders to attend RBPM clinical visits, and support with social issues impacting health (e.g., food insecurity; transportation; housing instability).
Remote Blood Pressure (BP) Management Program (RBPM)
Participants will receive a medical model of remote BP management (RBPM). Care is guided by protocols based on ACC/AHA High Blood Pressure Guidelines. This may include medications and/or lifestyle modifications, as is clinically indicated and personalized to each participant using principles of shared decision making.
