Primary outcomePrimary: Mean Change in Systolic Blood Pressure — -14.4; -11.3; 162.2; 160.7 mmHg — p=0.60

Summary

One of the most powerful predictors of stroke is hypertension, with estimates of approximately 33% of adults in the United States experiencing this condition. Hypertension is significantly more prevalent in African Americans compared to European Americans. Importantly, hypertension is a modifiable stroke risk factor. This proposal will use a community-based participatory research approach to perform a randomized trial of a mobile phone text-messaging intervention to reduce high blood pressure in an urban African American community in Flint, Michigan.
