Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a novel family-based hypertension self-management intervention, Walk Together, adapted from an existing empirically-supported dyadic intervention, for implementation in primary care.


Clinical Trial Description

Hypertension is the driving risk factor for disparities in mortality and life expectancy between African Americans and Whites. Hypertension self-management (including blood pressure monitoring, diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes) is critical for improving hypertension control, and prior interventions have emphasized promoting patient-level behavior change to improve self-management adherence. Though family members make substantial contributions to hypertension self-management for African Americans, family support is consistently underutilized by current hypertension self-management interventions. Family-based interventions for improving self-management are effective for other chronic conditions, including for African Americans. Evidence has demonstrated the unique and important role of family support in African Americans' hypertension management, and African Americans' preferences for the direct involvement of family in hypertension interventions. The study team will develop a family-based hypertension self-management intervention ("Walk Together") for African Americans with uncontrolled hypertension that integrates community-based participatory perspectives in the specifics of the intervention. The study team will pilot trial the culturally-adapted intervention in a primary care setting in order to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the Walk Together protocol. ;
