About this study

In plain language

This study follows adults with blood pressure above normal who attend Wayne Health Mobile Health Unit events. It looks at how social and other factors relate to blood pressure, follow-up care, and heart health over time.

This project is part of the ACHIEVE GREATER (Addressing Cardiometabolic Health In Populations Through Early PreVEntion in the GREAT LakEs Region) Center (IRB# 100221MP2A), the purpose of which is to improve cardiometabolic health in two uniquely comparable cities: Detroit, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. The ACHIEVE GREATER Center involves separate but related projects that aim to improve cardiometabolic health outcomes through better risk factor control for three chronic conditions that are of tremendous public health importance, (hypertension (HTN), heart failure, and coronary heart disease), all of which contribute significantly to premature death in Detroit and Cleveland. The present study is the prospective observational cohort component of ACHIEVE P1- EPI (Project 1) of the ACHIEVE GREATER Center and serves to characterize the population of patients with blood pressure (BP) levels above normal attending The Wayne Health Mobile Health Unit (MHU) events to better understand key factors (e.g., social determinants of health) that convey information about baseline BP levels and related clinical outcomes (e.g., follow-up clinic visits, BP control, and cardiovascular events).

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