Trial Outcomes & Findings for Youth-Led Intervention to Improve Blood Pressure (NCT NCT05029687)

NCT ID: NCT05029687

Last Updated: 2025-12-30

Results Overview

Using 21-question assessment adapted from Williams et al.'s 1998 hypertension knowledge tool. Results reported are the mean number of questions correct out of 21.

Participant Flow

Due to recruitment challenges for the ED cohort, Aim 2 of the study was changed from recruitment in the ED to recruitment in a school. Hence, we only have data for the school cohort. Additionally, the number of participants represents both members of each dyad (adults and youth) combined.

Aim 2 School Cohort
The intervention is a youth-led HTN education digital intervention, which will be comprised of a 6-week playlist of one module per week comprising the playlist. Youth will learn from the module and will teach the adult in their dyad about hypertension education in each week's themed module. Youth-Led Hypertension Education Digital Intervention: The intervention is a youth-led HTN education digital intervention, which will be comprised of a 6-week playlist of one module per week comprising the playlist. Youth will learn from the module and will teach the adult in their dyad about hypertension education in each week's themed module. The number of people listed here are adults and youth combined (total number of people, not dyads).
Aim 1 Participants
Qualitative interviews and focus groups to develop the intervention.
Aim 2 ED Cohort
Participants recruited in the ED for Aim 2 of study. Enrollment was very low with less engagement and no dyads completed the intervention, so shifted to recruitment in the school.

Aim 1 Participants
n=22 Participants
To develop the youth-led HTN digital intervention, we conducted a formative study to determine acceptable and easily comprehensible ways to present hypertension information to adults with hypertension and optimal ways to engage youth to support adults on how to achieve better hypertension control. After creating an intervention prototype with 6 weekly self-guided hypertension online modules, we recruited 12 youth (adolescents, aged 15-18 years) for 3 focus groups and 10 adult ED patients with hypertension for individual online interviews to garner feedback on the prototype. After completing a brief questionnaire, participants were asked about experiences with hypertension, preferences for a hypertension education intervention, and acceptability, feasibility, obstacles, and solutions for intervention implementation with youth and adults.
Aim 2: ED Cohort
n=4 Participants
We found little success recruiting participants through the emergency department. No participants completed the study and we shifted to recruitment through a local high school (see Aim 2: School Cohort).

No participants enrolled in the ED cohort completed the study (1 dyad- 1 adult and 1 youth were lost to follow-up and 1 dyad- 1 adult and 1 youth discontinued the intervention).

Timeframe: At end of 6-week intervention and 1 month post-6-week intervention

Population: Participants completed the assessment at post-intervention and 1-month post-intervention.

To measure youth confidence helping an adult manage hypertension, investigators created a 3-item assessment from 1 (not at all confident) to 10 (totally confident), on confidence to 1) teach, 2) encourage, and 3) help an adult lower their BP. The outcome measure represents the mean for each of the three items.
