GROUP APPOINTMENTS IN THE TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。本研究的总体目的是比较团体访视模式与标准护理控制原发性高血压的有效性。具体目标是：1)制定城市低收入成人原发性高血压管理的团体就诊方案和程序。2)比较团体访视模式与标准护理对控制原发性高血压的效果。3)比较分组就诊模式与标准治疗模式的患者健康资源利用率4)评估预测分组就诊模式反应的患者特征，如年龄、种族/民族、社会经济地位、高血压知识和自我效能感

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The overall objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a group visit model with standard care for the control of essential hypertension. The specific aims are to: 1) Develop protocols and procedures for group visits for the management of essential hypertension in urban, low-income adults. 2) Compare the effectiveness of a group visit model to standard care for the control of essential hypertension. 3) Compare patient health resource utilization between those assigned to the group visit model versus standar care 4) Evaluate the characteristics of patients that predict response to the group visit model such as age, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, hypertension knowledge, and self-efficacy
