项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): African American women suffer higher rates of uncontrolled hypertension than do non-Hispanic white women. Prime Time Sister Circles(r) (PTSC) empowers women to proactively manage their blood pressure by promoting the effective use of preventive health care; encouraging self-monitoring of blood pressure, and teaching strategies for managing stress, increasing physical activity, and improving nutrition. The 12-week community-based, holistic lifestyle intervention aims to improve blood pressure control by improving health knowledge, health efficacy, and health behaviors. PTSC potentially reduces health care costs through prevention, earlier detection, and improved management of hypertension through a culturally tailored program addressing specific barriers experienced by midlife and late life African American women. The proposed 5-year study is a collaboration between The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Disparities Solutions (HCHDS), The Gaston & Porter Health Improvement Center, Inc. (GPHIC), the American Institutes for Research (AIR), and Unity Health Care, Inc. (Unity). We propose to determine the impact and cost- effectiveness of the PTSC intervention among low-income African American women with uncontrolled hypertension. To do this, we will randomly assign 600 women between the ages of 40 and 75 who receive their care from Unity to either PTSC (n=300) or a comparison group (n=300) who will receive the PTSC intervention after they have been observed for 15 month. Using data from patient surveys and Unity's administrative records, we will determine if PTSC help low-income African American women effectively manage their blood pressure.

描述（由适用提供）：非洲裔美国妇女比非西班牙裔白人妇女患有不受控制的高血压率更高。黄金时段姊妹圈（R）（PTSC）通过促进预防性医疗保健的有效利用来主动管理血压；鼓励对血压的自我监控以及管理压力，增加体育锻炼和改善营养的教学策略。这项为期12周的PTSC有可能通过预防，较早的检测和改善高血压的管理通过文化量身定制的计划来降低医疗保健成本，该计划应对中年和后期生活的非洲裔美国妇女经历的特定障碍。拟议的5年研究是约翰·霍普金斯健康差异解决方案中心（HCHDS），加斯顿与波特健康改善中心（GPHIC），美国研究研究所（AIR）和Unity Health Care，Inc。（Unity）之间的合作。我们建议确定PTSC干预的影响和成本效益在低收入高血压的低收入非洲裔美国妇女中。为此，我们将随机分配40至75岁之间的600名妇女，她们从Unity到PTSC（n = 300）或比较组（n = 300），她们在观察到15个月后会接受PTSC干预。使用患者调查和Unity的行政记录中的数据，我们将确定PTSC是否有效地帮助低收入的非洲裔美国妇女有效地管理其血压。
