About this study

This study will compare two approaches for managing hypertension in Black patients with uncontrolled blood pressure (BP). One approach will include home BP telemonitoring supported by a pharmacist and a community health worker. The other approach will include usual clinic-based care along with a home BP monitor and routine care.

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