Community Intervention to Reduce Cardiovascular Disease in Chicago

This study is looking at ways to lower high blood pressure (hypertension) in communities in Chicago, especially in areas where heart disease is more common. Researchers want to see if a program that helps clinics improve how they care for patients with high blood pressure, called "Practice Facilitation," can be effective. They will compare this to clinics that receive general support without this specific program. The study aims to enroll 2000 adults, aged 18 to 89, who are patients at participating clinics or churches. The main goal is to see if blood pressure levels improve after 3 to 6 months. The study's current status is unclear.
