Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The IMPACTS study utilizes an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 2 design to achieve two primary goals simultaneously: 1). to test the effectiveness of a multifaceted implementation strategy for intensive BP control among underserved hypertensive patients at high risk for CVD, and 2). to assess the implementation outcomes of the multifaceted implementation strategy in patients and providers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Recently, the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) reported that more intensive blood pressure (BP) treatment (target systolic BP\<120 mm Hg) reduced major cardiovascular disease (CVD) by about 25% and all-cause mortality by about 27% compared to standard BP treatment (target systolic BP\<140 mm Hg) among hypertensive patients aged ≥50 years. SPRINT clearly answered the question - Will lowering BP more than the currently recommended goal further reduce the risk of CVD and mortality? The next important question is how to implement a more intensive BP treatment program in real-world clinical practice, especially in underserved patients. The IMPACTS trial is an effectiveness-implementation hybrid trial to simultaneously test the effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention program for more intensive BP treatment and the feasibility and fidelity of implementing the program in underserved patients with hypertension in Louisiana and Mississippi. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research has been used to guide the development of the multicomponent intervention, including dissemination of SPRINT study findings among patients, providers and policymakers; team-based collaborative care using a stepped-care protocol adapted from the SPRINT intensive-treatment algorithm, BP audit and feedback, and home BP monitoring; and health coaching on antihypertensive medication adherence and lifestyle modification. The investigators will collaborate with 36 federally qualified health center clinics that serve low-income populations in Louisiana and Mississippi to recruit 1,260 trial participants and conduct the IMPACTS trial. The primary clinical outcome is the difference in mean change of systolic BP from baseline to 18 months. The fidelity of the intervention, measured by intensification of treatment by providers and adherence to medications in patients, will be the primary implementation outcome. This study will generate urgently needed data on effective and adoptable intervention strategies aimed at eliminating health disparities and reducing the BP-related disease burden in underserved populations in the US.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Multicomponent Intervention

Protocol-based treatment using the SPRINT stepped-care intensive BP management algorithm, dissemination of SPRINT study findings among provider-teams, patients, and administrators, team-based collaborative care, BP audit and feedback, home BP monitoring, and health coaching on antihypertensive medication adherence and lifestyle modification

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Multicomponent Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The core component of the intervention is protocol-based treatment using the SPRINT BP management algorithm. The following implementation strategies are adaptable components that will be modified to fit specific federally-qualified health center (FQHC) settings: dissemination of SPRINT study findings among provider-teams, patients, and administrators, team-based collaborative care, BP audit and feedback, home BP monitoring, and health coaching on antihypertensive medication adherence and lifestyle modification.

Enhanced Usual Care

Webinar education session for providers on the new ACC/AHA hypertensive clinical guideline and the SPRINT study findings

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Enhanced Usual Care

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The investigators will provide an up-to-date clinical guideline for hypertension management to providers. A webinar education session on the new American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) hypertension guideline and findings from the SPRINT trial will be conducted. Otherwise, the investigators will not conduct any active intervention and all control clinics will follow their routine clinic practice in the management of hypertensive patients
