Why the study?
Latinos have disproportionately higher rates of uncontrolled hypertension and poor medication adherence, with limited data and no translation of adherence interventions in community-based primary care.
Does a culturally tailored, practice-based adherence intervention improve medication adherence in Latino patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
Population
148 Latino patients with uncontrolled hypertension and non-adherence to antihypertensive medications
Comparison
Culturally tailored, practice-based adherence intervention vs usual care
Design
Randomized controlled trial with open-label design
Follow-up
6 months
Key result
A culturally tailored, practice-based adherence intervention is being evaluated to determine its effect on medication adherence among 148 Latino patients with uncontrolled hypertension.

Does a culturally tailored, practice-based adherence intervention improve medication adherence in Latino patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether a culturally tailored, EMR-integrated health coach intervention improves medication adherence and blood pressure control among Latino patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
Schoenthaler et al. (2015) conducted an RCT in Uncontrolled hypertension (n=148). Culturally tailored adherence intervention vs. Usual care was evaluated on Rate of medication adherence at 6 months. A culturally tailored, practice-based adherence intervention is being evaluated to determine its effect on medication adherence among 148 Latino patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
