Adopting Self-Measured Blood Pressure Monitoring Among Underserved Communities (ASPIRE): A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Addressing barriers to self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) engagement through tailored implementation strategies is critical for improving hypertension-related outcomes.

Objective

To evaluate the feasibility of implementing the ASPIRE Clinical Integration Package, a multifaceted intervention designed to support SMBP adoption and engagement in under-resourced primary care settings.
