Implementing the Los Angeles Barber - Pharmacist Model Hypertension Management in Nashville
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Hypertension Management Model for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Black men face a shorter life expectancy than white men due to poorer health outcomes associated with many chronic diseases, most notably hypertension and its cardiovascular complications. A lack of access to healthcare resources and poor engagement with healthcare providers drive these inequities. A seminal trial conducted in the Metro Los Angeles area demonstrated the effectiveness of using collaborative care partnerships between black-owned barbershops and pharmacists to reduce blood pressure in black men. The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and success of implementing a single-arm, smaller-scale version of the Los Angeles study in the Nashville area to provide additional empiric support for collaborative care partnerships to treat hypertension in other geographic locations.
