Community Health Worker Coaching for Hypertension After Pregnancy
(HERHEART Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether an enhanced program works better than remote blood pressure monitoring (RBPM) alone for women who had high blood pressure during pregnancy. The enhanced program combines RBPM with a lifestyle program led by a community health worker (CHW).
The study will examine whether the enhanced program helps women better control their blood pressure, lowers their average resting blood pressure, improves heart health risk factors (such as weight, diet, physical activity), supports mental well-being, and reduces emergency department visits and hospital readmissions by 6 months after delivery.
