Controlling Hypertension in Native American and Other Populations

The study evaluates the use of automated motivational messages, visit reminders, and medication reminders (using interactive voice response technology or text messages) to improve blood pressure control among adults with hypertension that receive their care at the First Nations Community Healthsource clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Half of the participants will receive usual care, while the other half will receive the automated calls or text messages and have the option to receive home blood pressure monitors and/or designate a care partner who will also receive messages. Participants will be followed for 12 months.
