Background: Pharmacist-provided Medication Therapy Management (MTM) services have demonstrated improved clinical outcomes for patients. MTM services could incorporate additional lifestyle and wellness counseling to potentially enhance healthcare for underserved patients.

These disparities can be mitigated by self-management interventions for diseases such as hypertension. This study assessed the implementation of a Self-Measuring Blood Pressure (SMBP) program in rural Arizona, documenting its barriers and patient experiences.
