Reducing blood pressure gaps and building shared support for Black patients
Actions to Decrease Disparities in Risk and Engage in Shared Support for Blood Pressure Control (ADDRESS-BP) in Blacks
This project combines nurse care, home blood pressure monitoring, and community health workers to help Black adults better control high blood pressure.

What this research studies
If you join, you would receive an integrated program called PACE that links nurse case managers, home blood pressure monitors, and community health workers to address medical and community barriers like unstable housing and transportation. The program is being rolled out across 20 primary care practices within NYU Langone Health in New York City, with practice facilitators helping clinics adopt and sustain the model. Teams will work with a Community-Clinic-Academic Advisory Board and HealthFirst to connect patients to community resources while supporting medication adherence and home monitoring. Clinic and patient outcomes, including blood pressure control, will be tracked over time to see how well the program works in routine care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Adults who identify as Black and receive primary care at participating NYU Langone clinics, especially those with uncontrolled hypertension or facing community-level barriers, are the intended participants.
Not a fit: People who do not receive care at the participating clinics or who do not have high blood pressure are unlikely to benefit directly from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help more Black patients achieve and maintain healthy blood pressure by addressing both clinical care and community barriers.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies show nurse case management, home blood pressure monitoring, and community health workers can improve blood pressure control, but combining and implementing all three together in routine clinics is less tested.
