Article Synopsis
- Single-site blood pressure intervention programs have successfully improved BP levels, prompting an evaluation of the American Heart Association's Check. Change. Control (CCC) program across 18 cities with over 4000 patients.
- The effectiveness of these interventions was assessed based on enrollment goals, participant engagement, and changes in BP from initial to final measurements.
- High-performing sites often engaged senior institutions, provided education classes, distributed BP cuffs, and trained volunteers, showcasing that simplified, community-tailored programs can effectively enhance BP management, although outcomes varied significantly across different sites.
