Adapting self-measured blood pressure monitoring to reduce health disparities (ASPIRE): a pilot hybrid effectiveness‑implementation study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite advances in blood pressure management, significant racial and ethnic disparities persist, resulting in higher risks of stroke, heart disease, and mortality among non-White populations. Self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring, also known as home blood pressure monitoring, has shown promise in improving blood pressure control, especially when combined with feedback from healthcare providers. However, the adoption of SMBP remains low, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities, due to various patient, provider, and system-level barriers.

Objectives

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of study methods implementing the ASPIRE (adapting self-measured blood pressure to r
