Summary

This study will compare two approaches for managing hypertension in Black patients with uncontrolled blood pressure (BP).

The other approach will include usual clinic-based care along with a home BP monitor and routine care.

Detailed description

This study is a pragmatic effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 2 trial with two study arms. One arm will include home BP telemonitoring supported by a pharmacist and a community health worker providing centralized self-management support. The other arm will include enhanced usual clinic-based care with a home BP monitor and routine care from providers trained on evidence-based guidelines.
