HTN App for Blood Pressure Control in African-Americans

This study is testing a new app called FAITH! HTN to help African-American adults manage high blood pressure (hypertension or HTN). The app provides an 11-week program with educational videos to improve your knowledge and self-management of HTN. We want to see if using the FAITH! HTN app is more effective at lowering blood pressure and improving self-care compared to the usual care you would receive. You might be able to join if you are an African-American adult, aged 18 or older, receive primary care at Neighborhood HealthSource in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and have uncontrolled high blood pressure. The study will measure changes in your blood pressure and how well you manage your HTN. The current status of this study is unclear.

Study design
This study plans to enroll 100 participants to test an app-based intervention for hypertension. It is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment.
What's involved
Participants will use the FAITH! HTN app for 11 weeks. Your blood pressure and HTN self-care will be measured at the start of the study, immediately after the 11 weeks, and then again at 3 and 6 months later.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 6 months after the 11-week intervention period to assess long-term effects.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

African-American (AA) adults that are established patients at Neighborhood HealthSource in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Receives primary care (i.e., has designated primary care provider) at the partnering FQHCs and intent to continue care there for next 12 months
African American race/ethnicity
Men and women aged ≥18 years
Uncontrolled HTN (defined as Stage 2 HTN with a BP ≥140/90 mmHg \[as per 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association HTN Guidelines32\] at most recent outpatient evaluation, with or without BP medications)
Documented diagnosis of HTN in EHR
At least 1 office visit at the partnering FQHCs in the prior year
Smartphone ownership (supporting iOS or Android Systems)
Active email address and willingness to utilize it throughout the study
Basic Internet navigation skills (for example, can search for information on websites, open and send emails)
Access to the Internet on at least a weekly basis (such as at home, a family member's or friend's home, church, library/community center, school/university, Internet café, etc.)?

Exclusion

Diagnosis of a serious medical condition or disability that would make participation difficult (i.e. visual or hearing impairment, mental disability that would preclude independent use of the app).
No primary care provider at partnering FQHC

What this trial measures

  • Absolute Change in Systolic Blood Pressure (BP)Baseline, immediate post intervention

    Systolic BP (mmHg) will be measured as an average of 3 sitting readings with an oscillometric automated device during in-clinic health assessments.

  • HTN Self-Care as reported by H-SCALE(HTN Self-Care Activity Level Effects)Baseline, immediate, 3 months, 6 months post intervention

    The H-SCALE is a 31-item instrument that assesses 6 HTN behavioral self-care activities recommended for optimal HTN management (BP medication adherence, weight loss/ideal body weight maintenance, adoption of a low-salt diet, regular physical activity for ≥30 minutes/day, limiting alcohol intake, and ceasing tobacco use).
