Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 30–80 who live in Davidson or surrounding Tennessee counties, can consent, plan to remain in the area for 12 months, and are diagnosed with or at increased risk for hypertension are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

People who live outside the specified counties, are younger than 30 or older than 80, or are not at increased risk for hypertension would not be eligible and are unlikely to benefit from this program.

What this trial studies

The intervention delivers a lifestyle immersion program combining AHA Life's Simple 7 principles, the DASH eating plan, physical fitness coaching, and blood-pressure self-monitoring, led by certified experts. Participants receive motivation and skill-development support to help adopt and sustain dietary, activity, tobacco-cessation, alcohol-reduction, sleep, and self-management changes. The program is targeted to adults aged 30–80 who live in Davidson and surrounding counties and are already diagnosed with or at increased risk for hypertension. Activities and follow-up occur through Meharry Medical College with a 12-month commitment from participants.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the program could help participants lower blood pressure, improve cardiovascular risk factors, and reduce the future burden of heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and obesity through sustained lifestyle change.

How similar studies have gone: Previous trials using DASH and AHA Life's Simple 7-style lifestyle interventions have produced blood-pressure reductions, although long-term adherence and benefits in African American populations have been variable.
