Study Summary

This trial will train Community Health Workers to screen and identify Black men with elevated blood pressure or stage 1 hypertension, initiate lifestyle counseling, and link them to primary care and social services.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Black men who are regular customers at participating barbershops, aged 18 or older, with elevated blood pressure or untreated stage 1 hypertension. They must not be on blood pressure medication, have severe kidney disease, life-limiting conditions like advanced cancer, cognitive impairments that prevent participation in the intervention, an arm too large for BP cuffs used in the study, active substance abuse issues, or be involved in another BP-focused study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing two programs: Barbershop-Based Facilitation (BF) and Community-to-Clinic Linkage Implementation Program (CLIP). BF involves lifestyle counseling within barbershops while CLIP trains community health workers to screen for high blood pressure among Black men and connect them to primary care and social services.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on lifestyle changes and community engagement rather than medications or medical procedures, there may not be direct side effects as typically associated with drug trials. However, participants might experience stress or anxiety related to health awareness from screenings.
