Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of two educational interventions on adherence to blood pressure medications among adults with uncontrolled hypertension.


Description:

The study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) consisting of a 4-session educational intervention (completed over the course of 4-8 weeks) and a 6-month follow-up period for adherence monitoring. Participants will be allocated to one of two educational intervention groups following a block randomization schedule, stratified on the hypothesized mediator variable of medication-related beliefs (high versus low scores on the BMQ Necessity-Concerns subscore) to ensure the groups are balanced on this variable. Primary endpoint is medication adherence at 6 month follow-up, defined as the proportion of days that the prescribed number of doses was taken by the patient during a 30-day period, measured by a pill bottle cap monitor (medication events monitoring device [MEMS]).

Intervention

Behavioral:
Mi Propio Camino (MPC)
The Mi Propio Camino (MPC) intervention will be comprised of four sessions. Session 1 will encompass: the facts about high blood pressure (BP), understanding blood pressure readings, provide an overview of changes one can make to manage their BP, introduce MPC personal experience monitoring, and usage the mHealth kit. Subsequently, sessions 2-4 will emphasize the benefits of personal experience monitoring through 1) personal insight (finding what works for them) and 2) empowerment to work with their providers. Session 2 will reinforce this by introducing: synergy between medication and lifestyle, principles of heart-healthy eating and physical activity. Session 3 will incorporate discussion of negative beliefs about medication and patient directed lifestyle learning-rotating stations. Lastly, session 4 will introduce the continuation of personal experience monitoring on their own through the use of behavioral strategies for adherence and provider communication strategies.
Habilidades para Controlar la Presion (HCP; Skills for Blood Pressure Control)
The HCP intervention will be comprised of four sessions and introduce seven lifestyle strategies (LS) subdivided per these sessions. Session 1 will encompass the facts about high blood pressure (BP), understanding blood pressure readings, provide an overview of changes one can make to manage their BP, present specific health threats from high BP, and incorporate LS1: taking control of your medication. Subsequently, sessions 2-4 will reinforce the benefits of taking medications through presenting 1) reduced risk for complications and 2) strategies to remember to take medications. Session 2 will present LS2: eating a well-balanced, low-salt diet and LS3: enjoying regular physical activity. Session 3 will follow with introducing LS4: maintaining a healthy weight and LS5: shaking the salt habit while eating out. Session 4 will present LS6: managing stress and LS7: working together with their doctor followed by a review of strategies they can continue on their own.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Medication Adherence (Objective) Medication adherence is assessed at 6-month follow-up with Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS) pill bottle cap monitors (MWV/WestRock), an objective, gold-standard measure for pill-taking behavior. MEMS caps can be affixed to a medicine bottle to record each time the bottle is opened, indicating when the patient took the medication. Daily adherence is defined as the proportion of days that the prescribed number of doses was taken by the patient during a 30-day period. 6 months post-intervention
Secondary Blood Pressure This outcome measure will be recorded following the American Heart Association (AHA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC) guidelines for proper methods and accurate blood pressure (BP) measurement. Accurate BP measurements are subdivided into pre and post-steps. Before measuring of BP, patients are to be prepared for proper technique including: having the patient sit quietly with their feet on the floor, back supported and relaxed for 5 minutes, supporting arm used for measurement on a desk and ensuring it is positioned at heart level. Subsequently, the middle of the BP cuff should be positioned on the patient's upper arm ensuring that the correct cuff size is used based on the cuff size criteria from AHA. As our patients are already taking medication that might affect BP, timing of measurements should be standardized to the patient's medication intake. Blood pressure will be collected for analysis at baseline, upon completion of intervention period and upon completion of outcome assessment period at 1-month and 6-month follow up.
Secondary Medication Adherence (Subjective) Subjective medication adherence assessed with a validated Spanish version of the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (8-item MMAS), coded dichotomously (low vs. high adherence) using published cutoffs Collected for analysis at baseline, upon completion of intervention period and upon completion of outcome assessment period at 1-month and 6-month follow up.
Secondary Reasons for Nonadherence Reasons for medication nonadherence will be assessed with the Safran Medication Adherence questionnaire, coded dichotomously for nonadherence related to beliefs, nonadherence related to cost, and unintentional nonadherence Collected for analysis at baseline, upon completion of intervention period and upon completion of outcome assessment period at 1-month and 6-month follow up.
Secondary Medication-related beliefs (Specific) Medication-related beliefs will be assessed as the Specific Necessity-Concerns scale for the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ). Collected for analysis at baseline, upon completion of intervention period and upon completion of outcome assessment period at 1-month and 6-month follow up.
Secondary Medication-related information Knowledge of medication-related information will be assessed with a questionnaire adapted from the Medication Knowledge Questionnaire (MKQ) Collected for analysis at baseline, upon completion of intervention period and upon completion of outcome assessment period at 1-month and 6-month follow up.
Secondary Medication-related Behavioral Skills Knowledge of Medication-related Behavioral Skills will be assessed withthe PROMIS Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions Manage Medications/Treatment scale Collected for analysis at baseline, upon completion of intervention period and upon completion of outcome assessment period at 1-month and 6-month follow up.
Secondary Activation of behavioral strategies Activation of behavioral strategies measured with the Medication Adherence Strategies Inventory (ASI)60, an inventory of 7 common strategies for adherence. Collected for analysis at baseline, upon completion of intervention period and upon completion of outcome assessment period at 1-month and 6-month follow up.
