Trial Using Motivational Interviewing Positive Affect and Self-Affirmation in Hypertension (TRIUMPH)
Study Status
Open to Enrollment
Study Description
Triumph is designed to build on the findings of our previous studies by combining positive affect and self affirmation with motiviational interviewing in order to increase blood pressure control in community based practices that care for large numbers of hypertensive black patients. Patients in both the educational and behavioral contract control group would receive a workbook, would make a behavioral contract, and receive a home blood pressure monitor. The positive affect/self-affirmation group would receive the same components as the control group. In addition, the experimental group would receive a positive affect/self-affirmation induction and motivational interviewing.
Both the control group and the experimental group would be followed at 2 month intervals. The outcome blood pressure control in this group will be contrasted to the knowledge/behavioral contract group.
