Interactive Multirisk-Factor Intervention for Hypertension (HTN) Blacks
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hypertension
In brief
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of Telephone-Linked\_Care for Hypertension Regimen Adherence in an African American population (TLC-HTN-AA). TLC-HTN-AA is a computer-based telecommunication system that will monitor, educate and counsel African American adults with hypertension on adherence to medication, diet, and exercise. The primary hypotheses are: 1. TLC-HTN-AA use will improve medication regiment adherence 2. TLC-HTN-AA will improve adherence to 3 healthy diet recommendations 3. TLC-HTN-AA will improve levels of regular exercise 4. Patients receiving TLC-HTN-AA will be more likely to become adherent to all 3 target regiments than patients in the control group
