Community Health Worker Coaching for Blood Pressure After Pregnancy

This study is looking at two ways to help women manage their blood pressure after pregnancy, especially if they had high blood pressure during pregnancy. One group will use Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring (RBPM) alone, where you'll measure your blood pressure at home for 6 weeks. The other group, called the Enhanced Care Group, will also use RBPM but will additionally receive support and lifestyle coaching from a community health worker. The goal is to see if the Enhanced Care Group helps women control their blood pressure better, improves heart health, and reduces hospital visits within 6 months after delivery. You can join if you are 18 or older, are at least 28 weeks pregnant with a single baby, have high blood pressure during pregnancy, and plan to deliver at Prisma Health-Midlands Hospital. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design
This is an interventional study planning to enroll 240 pregnant women. Participants will be assigned to either the Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring alone group or the Enhanced Care Group.
What's involved
Participants will monitor their blood pressure daily for the first 2 weeks after delivery, then 3-5 times per week for weeks 3-6. The Enhanced Care Group will also receive coaching from a community health worker.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for blood pressure control and other health measures for 6 months after delivery.
