ABSTRACT:

Importance

Rural Black participants need effective intervention to achieve better blood pressure (BP) control.

Objective

Among Black rural adults with persistently uncontrolled hypertension attending primary care clinics, to determine whether peer coaching (PC), practice facilitation (PF), or both (PCPF) are superior to enhanced usual care (EUC) in improving BP control.

Design, setting, and participants
