Community Health Worker Coaching to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk Among Women After a Hypertensive Disorder of Pregnancy (NCT07457970)

Community Health Worker Coaching to Reduce CVD Disease Risk Among Women After a Hypertensive Disorder of Pregnancy

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿง  Behavioral & Psychological Program Sponsor: University of South Carolina

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether an enhanced program works better than remote blood pressure monitoring (RBPM) alone for women who had high blood pressure during pregnancy. The enhanced program combines RBPM with a lifestyle program led by a community health worker (CHW). The study will examine whether the enhanced program helps women better control their blood pressure, lowers their average resting blood pressure, improves heart health risk factors (such as weight, diet, physical activity), supports mental well-being, and reduces emergency department visits and hospital readmissions by 6 months after delivery.
