Randomized Controlled Trial
Underserved urban african american men: hypertension trial outcomes and mortality during 5 years.
African American men with hypertension (HTN) in low socioeconomic urban environments continue to achieve poor rates of HTN control. ⋯ An appropriate educational/behavioral intervention significantly improved BP control and reduced some sequelae of HTN in a young African American male population. Improvement in risk factors other than HTN was limited and sustained control of HTN was difficult to maintain during 5 years.
