What this trial studies
This study compares a multidisciplinary intervention aimed at addressing both clinical and social needs for hypertension management against enhanced standard care in primary care clinics. It focuses on the unique challenges faced by African American and Latinx populations in Chicago, particularly on the West Side, where significant health disparities exist. The intervention includes remote monitoring and education programs tailored to the specific needs of the community, with the goal of improving hypertension control outcomes. By integrating clinical care with community resources, the study aims to reduce the life expectancy gap related to cardiovascular disease in this region.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are African American and/or Latinx adults aged 18 and older with uncontrolled stage 2 hypertension who are patients at Rush primary care clinics.
Not a fit: Patients with organ transplants, those on dialysis, or individuals already participating in another remote hypertension monitoring program may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve hypertension management and health outcomes for underserved populations.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success with multidisciplinary approaches to hypertension management, particularly in addressing social determinants of health.
