About this study

This project aims to address healthcare disparities among Navaho people diagnosed with hypertension or prehypertension through three main objectives. Firstly, it identifies and shares insights on healthcare access disparities affecting Navaho individuals experiencing nonadherence to hypertension treatment. Secondly, the proposal develops a telehealth solution based on factors identified as knowledge gaps caused by healthcare access disparities in hypertension management; we will use the factors to design a series of engaging minigames that can be incorporated into the larger CardioCare Quest. These minigames will be co-designed with end users and clinicians. Finally, the proposal conducts comprehensive qualitative and quantitative assessments of user experiences, perceptions, and challenges with CardioCare Quest.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * We are interested in interviewing people who receive, give, or are affected by HBP therapy. This includes medical professionals, patients with HBP between the ages of 18 and above, their family members, caretakers, and relevant community professionals such as social workers. * The project targets Urban Indigenous individuals in the patient category. A potential participant will be recognized as Urban Indigenous upon completing the registration form provided to them. * The project is interested in Navajo Nation groups that reside in Flagstaff. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with uncontrolled or severely severe hypertension will be excluded from this study since controlling these instances may be the primary emphasis of the study rather than its intervention. * The exclusion will be based on considerations such as the severity of hypertension, the potential risks associated with uncontrolled hypertension, and the overall health status of the patient. * Participants having specific medical conditions that could interfere with or pose risks to the study's outcomes (e.g., severe heart disease, advanced kidney disease) will be excluded. * Pregnant women or those who want to get pregnant during the study period will be excluded due to the potential dangers to both the pregnant woman and the fetus.
