Brief Summary

The purpose of study is to understand the different factors (patient, societal, provider, clinic, health system) relevant in recruitment and participation of patients in Team Based Equity Conscious Telemedicine Approach to Improve Hypertension clinical trial.

Detailed Description

Black patients suffer disproportionate hypertension (HTN) burden with worse control, resulting in HTN-related mortality rates twice those observed in non-Hispanic White patients. Contextually informed care approach is urgently needed in Black patients for HTN management. This study will evaluate multi-level barriers and facilitators for recruitment and participation of Black patients in a Team Based Equity Conscious Telemedicine Approach to Improve Hypertension (TET-HTN) clinical trial. This study will also evaluate the feasibility of TET-HTN intervention in a randomized comparison with usual clinic-based hypertension care approach.

Team based Equity conscious Telemedicine Hypertension (TET-HTN) interventionTeam Based Equity Conscious Telemedicine Hypertension InterventionBlack patients with systolic blood pressure \>140 mmHg on the last two clinic visits plus baseline systolic blood pressure \>130 mmHg - deliver the TET-HTN intervention over six months
Usual CareUsual CareBlack patients with systolic blood pressure \>140 mmHg on the last two clinic visits plus baseline systolic blood pressure \>130 mmHg - usual clinic based hypertension care using routinely available clinic services including community health worker/social worker. Clinicians can offer self-management support (e.g., dietician referral) or recommend a home blood pressure monitor. These activities mirror current primary care practice.
