Interventions
Intervention arm participants will receive a home blood pressure monitor, home blood pressure log, and training on accurate home monitoring. They will be asked to share their home blood pressure readings during health coach telephone calls.
Intervention arm participants will receive a health coach phone call every 2 weeks for 6 months, for a total of 12 calls. During each call, the health coach will review and discuss home blood pressures and address barriers and concerns to hypertension management. During each telephone call, the coach will guide the participant on selecting health behavior goals. Intervention arm participants will also receive handouts about hypertension management during the study visits and after health coach calls.
