Optimizing how patients get blood pressure cuffs and how they log readings in primary care

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study tests four delivery and instruction approaches to support self-measured blood pressure in primary care. Participants are adults with diagnosed hypertension who have elevated readings and are attending in-person visits at participating clinics. The trial compares mail-order versus in-clinic cuff delivery, each with either enhanced return conversation or written instructions for cuff use and BP logging. The aim is to identify scalable methods for cuff access and training that can be integrated into routine care without relying on research funds for devices.
