NCT03970590
In this study the investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial aimed at improving hypertension self-management and lowering blood pressure (BP) in African-American Veterans. In this study, the investigators 'begin the conversation' by showing previously created videos to Veteran participants, inviting them to select the peer narrative that is most compelling. The investigators then 'continue the conversation', offering longitudinal support via 6 months of narrative-aligned text messages. Texts will cover key subject areas, providing education, reminders and periodic assessments, and include quotations derived from and aligned with transcripts from the chosen narrative. The investigators will measure the intervention's impact on BP, self-efficacy and self-management behaviors, and conduct a cost analysis.
NCT03197688
The Opsumit Users registry (OPUS; NCT02126943) was developed to characterize the safety profile of Opsumit and to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients newly treated with Opsumit in the post-marketing setting. It is expected that the recruitment target of the OPUS registry cannot be achieved within the planned time period (5000 Opsumit new users by October 2018). The OrPHeUS study is designed to supplement the OPUS registry with retrospectively identified first-time Opsumit users in order to achieve the desired sample size.
