About this study

In plain language

This study is for pregnant women with high blood pressure that started before or during pregnancy. It tests whether adding online support for social needs and medicine care visits to home blood pressure checks improves blood pressure and pregnancy health. Everyone will check their blood pressure at home and use the TSU MH Rx app, but only one group will get the added support.

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether adding Community Health Worker (CHW)/Social Worker (SW)-led support for non-medical health related needs (NMHRN) and clinician-led Medication Therapy Management (MTM) to remote blood pressure monitoring improves outcomes for pregnant women with chronic hypertension or gestational hypertension (i.e high blood pressure that was present before pregnancy or developed during pregnancy). All participants will monitor their blood pressure at home, use the TSU MH Rx app, and complete assessments related to social needs, depression, anxiety, pregnancy care experiences, and satisfaction. Only participants in the intervention group will receive targeted virtual social needs support and virtual regular MTM sessions focused on medications, self-care, adherence, and risk reduction. The study will assess blood pressure and maternal outcomes, feasibility, and participant satisfaction with the combined intervention.

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