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

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a remote patient monitoring (RPM) program supported by community health workers (CHWs) in managing hypertension among Latinx patients. It employs a step-wedge randomized controlled trial design to compare the RPM-enabled CHW approach with standard care for hypertension management. The study will assess various outcomes including blood pressure reduction, implementation effectiveness, and factors such as adoption, acceptability, and sustainability of the RPM program.
