What is the purpose of this trial?
The proposed study, "Check, Monitor, Control Hypertension in Older African American Adults," is a randomized clinical trial designed to improve blood pressure control among African American adults aged 55 years and older in the Greater Houston area. Hypertension disproportionately affects African Americans, contributing to higher rates of cardiovascular disease and stroke. This project aims to improve clinical and behavioral outcomes through a 24-month intervention combining pharmacist-led counseling and Community Health Worker (CHW) support.
