About This Study
The purpose of this study is to compare two ways to improve care for non-Hispanic Black patients with high blood pressure. The first way provides care to patients electronically through phone and video visits. The second way is in person, at a doctor's office, the way someone might normally seek care. All patients will receive a cuff to self-monitor their blood pressure at home. We want to see which way would work better.
Volunteers must be a patient at one of the following clinics in Charlotte: Elizabeth Family Medicine, North Charlotte Internal Medicine, Biddle Point Family Medicine, Rutherford Internal Medicine, Shelby Family Medicine, Charlotte Medical Clinic South Park. Or a patient at one of the following clinics in Winston Salem: Downtown Health Plaza, Winston East, Piedmont Plaza I, Reynolda, Peace Haven, Adams Farm.
