Evaluating the effects of home blood pressure monitoring on health outcomes.
Home Blood Pressure Outcomes Evaluation Study (HOMESTEAD)
This study is looking at how checking your blood pressure at home can help adults with high blood pressure manage their condition better and stick to their medications, and it involves people from all over the country to see if this method leads to healthier outcomes compared to just getting checked at the doctor’s office.

What this research studies
This research investigates how self-measuring blood pressure at home can impact the management of hypertension in adults. It aims to assess the effectiveness of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) in reducing clinic blood pressure and improving medication adherence over time. The study will involve a diverse population across the country to understand how HBPM affects clinical outcomes and patient behavior in routine practice. Participants will be monitored to see if using HBPM leads to better health results compared to traditional clinic measurements.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults aged 21 and older who have hypertension or are at risk for high blood pressure.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have hypertension or related conditions may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved management of hypertension and better health outcomes for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that home blood pressure monitoring can effectively reduce clinic blood pressure, indicating potential for success in this study.
