PRESSURE CHECK: Find Your Path to Better Health

This study seeks to develop the evidence for a sustainable, community-partnered, multi-level health system strategy to improve blood pressure control. Two team-based approaches are being tested: 1) a medical model of remote BP management (RBPM) alone, and 2) RBPM plus a social model with a community health worker (CHW). These 2 strategies are being compared with a standard community screening program with referral to primary care.
