Official title
Effect of a Novel Behavioral Intervention on Blood Pressure Control in Hypertension Patients
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
We propose to test an intervention to increase patients' understanding of the causes, consequences, and the rationale for treatment, of their hypertension (HTN), as a strategy for increasing blood pressure (BP) control. The focus is on the interaction between a behavioral intervention to reduce BP - home BP monitoring (HBPM) - and patient knowledge, which, we propose, moderates the effect of the HBPM intervention. We hypothesize that patients who have a better understanding of their illness and its prescribed treatment will be more adherent to the treatment regimen, and thus will exhibit improved outcomes compared to those who have been exposed to the same intervention, but who do not have a clear understanding of these elements.
