MAP Trial Summary

This trial is testing a health coaching program to see if it helps people with hypertension better manage their blood pressure and take their medication as prescribed.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over 50 with high blood pressure who struggle to stick to their medication schedule. They must be insured by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, plan to stay with them next year, speak English, have a phone, and not live with someone in the study or be in another drug adherence trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The STAR-MAP program's effectiveness is being tested against just using medication reminder tools. The program includes health coaching sessions aimed at improving how well participants take their blood pressure medicine and manage their condition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on health coaching and reminders rather than new medications, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from discussing personal habits or frustration if no improvement in medication adherence is seen.
