PRESSURE CHECK: Find Your Path to Better Health

Sponsored by Yale University

About this study

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.

In this comparative effectiveness trial, we aim to answer the research question of whether a remote blood pressure management program (RBPM, inclusive of home blood pressure monitoring and telehealth visits with a nurse or pharmacist delivering protocol-supported BP management, inclusive of medications and lifestyle modifications) alone or an RBPM program with community health worker (CHW) support is more effective than standard screening with education and referral to primary care in controlling blood pressure and addressing social determinants that lead to poor health outcomes. This is a multisite study using a stepped wedge design. Health systems in 4 different cities are each partnered with 10 community based organizations (CBOs). CBOs are randomized into one of 4 sequences. Each sequ…
