Why the study?
Does a blood pressure control intervention grounded in activation principles improve Patient Activation Measure (PAM) scores and blood pressure outcomes in Black home care patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
Does a blood pressure control intervention grounded in activation principles improve Patient Activation Measure (PAM) scores and blood pressure outcomes in Black home care patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
An activation-based blood pressure control intervention did not significantly improve patient activation or systolic blood pressure control in Black home care patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Activation-based interventions should not be prioritized for BP control in this population; challenges the link between PAM gains and systolic BP improvement.
Ryvicker et al. (2013) studied this question.
