About this study

Official title: Take the Pressure Off, NYC! Staten Island Barbershop Initiative

Briefly, a trained barbershop navigator will work with each barbershop to measure blood pressure on each adult customer who agrees, and to provide culturally-targeted education about high blood pressure and its consequences, and motivational interviewing-informed counseling about therapeutic lifestyle changes. For customers found to have high blood pressure, the navigator will also provide referral and navigation to a medical provider and, as appropriate, a local pharmacy.

Read the detailed description

This program will be patterned after barbershop-based blood pressure programs that have demonstrated efficacy in achieving lower blood pressure and improved hypertension control rates among Black men with high blood pressure. This program will reach 10-12 barbershops per year, working with 2-3 barbershops each quarter. Briefly, a trained barbershop navigator will work with each barbershop t o measure blood pressure on each adult customer who agrees, and to provide culturally-targeted education about high blood pressure and its consequences, and motivational interviewing-informed counseling about therapeutic lifestyle changes. For customers found to have high blood pressure, the navigator will also provide referral and navigation to a medical provider and, as appropriate, a local pharmacy. At all recruitment events, all study team members and potential participants must wear masks and practice social distancing when appropriate. Participants who do not have face masks should be offered masks for continued outreach participation. Study team members will also wear gloves and have hand sanitizer visible. When available, staff should wash hands frequently with soap and water. If this option is not available, staff should frequently use hand sanitizer.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • blood pressureDiagnostic test

    Also called ABPM 7100 Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor

    The Welch Allyn ABPM 7100 is an easy-to-use 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor that is designed to help avoid the effects of white coat hypertension, provide accurate sleep blood pressure readings, and tailor drug therapy regimes to your individual patient's needs.

    This device is programmed to take three BP readings a minute apart. To be eligible, participants must have an average SBP > 135 mm Hg or DBP > 85 mmHg (based on the average of 3 BP readings); or average SBP > 130 mm Hg or DBP > 80 mm hg (for those with diabetes or kidney disease) based on JNC-7 criteria for uncontrolled HTN.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Change in Blood Pressure over 6 months (time frame: Initial Study Day 1, Follow up 1 (Day 90 +/- 10), Follow up 2 ((Day 180+/-10)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Aug 2022.
