About This Hypertension Study in San Diego

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine whether a community health worker-delivered, multi-component behavioral intervention can improve antihypertensive medication adherence and blood pressure control among adult refugees with hypertension who are prescribed antihypertensive medications. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does participation in the BPCARE intervention improve antihypertensive medication adherence compared to enhanced usual care? 2. Does participation in the BPCARE intervention improve blood pressure control and persistence over time compared to enhanced usual care? Researchers will compare participants randomized to the BPCARE intervention to those receiving enhanced usual care (hypertension information and a home blood pressure monitor) to determine the effects on medication adherence, blood pressure control, and persistence. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the BPCARE intervention or enhanced usual care * Receive hypertension education and a home blood pressure monitor * Participate in community health worker-delivered sessions that include hypertension and medication education, motivational interviewing, problem-solving, and action planning (intervention arm only) * Complete questionnaires assessing medication adherence and related psychosocial factors * Have blood pressure monitored using connected home blood pressure devices * Complete pill counts to assess medication adherence over a nine-month follow-up period
