About This Hypertension Study in Albuquerque

WEAVE NM (Wide Engagement for Assessing Vaccine Equity in New Mexico) is a community-based research initiative working to improve health outcomes in underserved populations, with a current focus on hypertension and food justice. The project centers on the lived experiences of Native American, African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Asian American residents in Albuquerque's International District and South Valley. With guidance from community voices and ongoing collaboration with local organizations, health providers, and residents, the initiative integrates cultural values, public policy, and social realities into solutions that promote equity and wellness. As part of this work, a clinical trial is being conducted through First Nations Community HealthSource (FNCH) to evaluate a culturally tailored blood pressure intervention called Heart Health and Nutrition for Life (HHNL). The trial includes patients who receive standard hypertension care and blood pressure self-monitoring, with one group also participating in a community health worker-led educational program in their first six months of study enrollment. This curriculum addresses healthy eating, physical activity, medication adherence, stress reduction, and avoidance of alcohol and tobacco, all delivered with cultural sensitivity and community insight. After six months, the groups switch roles, allowing all participants to receive the education component. Participants' progress is measured over a 12-month period by tracking changes in blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, blood sugar (HbA1c), and emotional well-being. The aim is to determine whether this community-supported approach improves outcomes more effectively than standard care alone with blood pressure self-monitoring. This study represents a broader effort to create long-term, community-rooted solutions to chronic health issues by addressing the social and environmental factors that influence well-being. For individuals living in the International District or South Valley, this project offers the opportunity to take part in research that respects cultural identity and prioritizes real-world impact on health. Interested patients and families can contact their provider at FNCH to learn more about participation.
