This study, called "Check, Monitor, Control Hypertension," is for African Americans aged 55 and older in the Greater Houston area who have high blood pressure (hypertension). It aims to improve blood pressure control over 24 months. You would receive either counseling from a pharmacist, or counseling from a pharmacist combined with support from a Community Health Worker (CHW). The study is looking for 480 participants. We will know the study is successful if participants' systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) improves over time. The current recruitment status is unclear.
