About this study

Official title: Community-engaged Implementation Study of Hypertension Prevention and Navigation in Black Men

The CLIP program will train Community Health Workers (CHWs) to screen and identify Black men with elevated blood pressure (BP) or stage 1 hypertension (HTN), initiate lifestyle counseling; and link them to primary care and social services.

Read the detailed description

The study will consist of:

  1. An implementation phase that will use a cluster randomized cluster trial of 20 barbershops among Black men with elevated BP or Stage 1 HTN, to compare the effect of the Barbershop-based Facilitation (BF) strategy (n=10 barbershops; n=210 participants) vs. self-directed control (i.e. receipt of information for implementation of CLIP without the BF strategy; n=10 barbershops; n=210 participants), on BP reduction, HTN prevention, linkage to care, and adoption of CLIP at 12 months
  2. A post-implementation phase that will use Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) to evaluate the effect of the BF strategy versus self-directed control on sustainability of CLIP 6 months after completion of the trial; and cost-effectiveness over a 10-year time horizon.

What participants receive

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

  • Community-to-Clinic Linkage Implementation Program in Barbershops (CLIP)Behavioural

    Multilevel intervention designed to mitigate adverse social determinants of health (SDoH) via linkage to care, health system navigation, and referral to social services.

  • Barbershop-Based Facilitation (BF)Behavioural

    Trained and qualified facilitators assist community health workers (CHWs) to: 1) increase their confidence in delivering CLIP; 2) understand participants' concerns and beliefs about hypertension (HTN); and 3) develop skills in lifestyle counseling to help the men initiate lifestyle modification.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) Levels

    All participants will have office blood pressure (BP) measured on their non-dominant arm with an Omron HEM-907XL BP device.

    3 BP readings separated by one minute will be obtained at each visit. The 3 BP readings will be averaged to obtain mean BP.

    SBP Levels are classified as follows:

    • Normal: Below 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg)
    • Elevated: 120-129 mm Hg
    • Stage 1 hypertension: 130-139 mm Hg
    • Stage 2 hypertension: 140 mm Hg or more
    • Hypertensive crisis: 180 mm Hg or more

    Measured: Baseline, Month 12

Secondary outcomes (17)
  1. Change in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) Levels

    All participants will have office blood pressure (BP) measured on their non-dominant arm with an Omron HEM-907XL BP device.

    DBP Levels are classified as follows:

    • Normal: Lower than 80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg)
    • Stage 1 hypertension: 80-89 mm Hg

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Community-to-Clinic Linkage Implementation Program in Barbershops (CLIP) and Barbershop-Based Facilitation (BF) in people with 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 5 inclusion and 12 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 27 Feb 2026. 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 Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) Levels (time frame: Baseline, Month 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05447962, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Feb 2026.
