Collaboration to Reduce Disparities in Hypertension
Completed · Phase 4
Conditions studied: Hypertension
In brief
A large number of African-American and low socioeconomic patients have poorly controlled high blood pressure because of not being able to take their high blood pressure medications. This puts these patients at higher risk of heart and kidney disease, stroke and death. This study is designed to reduce the barriers that prevent patients from taking their high blood pressure medications.
