Trial Using Motivational Interviewing Positive Affect and Self-Affirmation in Hypertension (TRIUMPH)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hypertension

In brief

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate whether an intervention that combines positive affect and self-affirmation with motivational interviewing (TRIUMPH) improves blood pressure control compared to an educational/behavioral contract intervention at 12 months. We hypothesize that a greater proportion of participants in the experimental arm of TRIUMPH will have adequate blood pressure control as defined by Seventh Joint National Committee on Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of Hypertension (JNC-7.)
