COACHMAN targets barriers to hypertension knowledge, medication adherence, problem solving skills, patient-provider communication, and social support in an effort to improve blood pressure control.
The investigators will conduct a two-arm randomized control trial (RCT) using a community participatory research approach and mixed methods to evaluate the efficacy of TBI intervention with community support (Coachman) compared to enhance usual care (ECU) among 60 African Americans with uncontrolled hypertension.
The investigators aim to:
1. Identify key content, design, and resources from a community of stakeholders, including determining facilitators and barriers of hypertension self-management among African Americans that will inform the development of COACHMAN using a mixed methods approach methods.
2. Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of COACHMAN to improve BP control.
3. Compare the difference in BP control between Technology-based intervention (TBI) and Enhanced usual care (EUC).
