About this study

Official title: myHEART (My Hypertension Education and Reaching Target) Program: a Feasibility Study of a Young Adult Hypertension Intervention

This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of a telephone-based health coach self-management intervention for young adults.

Read the detailed description

To address the unmet need for hypertension care in young adults, MyHEART (My Hypertension Education and Reaching Target), a multi-component hypertension intervention was developed. Eligible patients were identified via the healthcare system's electronic health record.

Inclusion criteria included:

  1. 18-39 years old at the start of the study,
  2. previous hypertension ICD-9 coded office visits and
  3. uncontrolled hypertension (≥140/90 mmHg) based on the last ambulatory blood pressure reading.

Exclusion criteria included a pre-defined list of co-morbidities, in addition to planned or current pregnancy, any health condition that limits physical activity or dietary changes, current participation in another study, and planning to leave the area in the next three months. During the feasibility study, all participants continued to receive usual hypertension care from their primary care provider. The intervention involved health coach calls over a 3-month period using self-management modules. The order of the modules was guided by the participant's choice. All encounters were documented in the electronic health record. Patient acceptability and home blood pressure monitoring survey data was acquired.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patient Satisfaction (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
