About this study

In plain language

This study tests a 3-month program led by a pharmacist to help adults with high blood pressure that is not under control. A mobile care team offers blood pressure checks, medicine support, health education, and help getting care at community sites on Chicago’s West and South Sides. The study looks at how well the program works, its costs, and what people think of it.

The Live Healthy Chicago (LHC) Community Pilot is a prospective, community-based study evaluating the feasibility, effectiveness, and economic impact of a pharmacist-led hypertension management program delivered in trusted community settings on the West and South Sides of Chicago. Adults with uncontrolled hypertension will be identified and enrolled through community-based organizations, where a mobile clinical team-including community health workers, a pharmacist, and a registered nurse-will provide blood pressure screening, medication management, health education, and care coordination over a 3-month period. The study will assess participant engagement and acceptability, changes in systolic blood pressure. This pilot aims to address disparities in hypertension control by improving access to care in underserved communities and informing scalable, community-based models of chronic disease management.

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