Stereotypes and Hypertension
common.study.values.description
“The Multicenter Randomized HYpertension and VALUEs (HYVALUE) Trial”
The objective of this study is to reduce the effects of stereotype threat on the adherence of African American patients with hypertension. The specific aims of this study, which employs a values affirmation intervention, are to: 1. Compare the effects of the values-affirmation exercise to a control condition on antihypertensive medication adherence in African American patients with uncontrolled hypertension across three clinical settings, 2. Compare the effects of the values-affirmation exercise on antihypertensive medication adherence in African American patients and white patients with uncontrolled hypertension and similar socioeconomic characteristics, and 3. Evaluate the intervention for widespread dissemination using the RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance) framework
