Incorporating patients' social determinants of health into hypertension and depression care: a pilot randomized controlled trial.
The objective of this study was to carry out a randomized controlled pilot trial to test the effectiveness of an integrated intervention for hypertension and depression incorporating patients' social determinants of health (enhanced intervention) versus an integrated intervention alone (basic intervention). The pilot trial results indicate integrated care management that addresses the social determinants of health for patients with hypertension and depression may be effective.

Pediatric hypertension: provider perspectives.
The researchers aimed to gain insights into reasons for low rates of diagnosis and treatment from primary care providers. In interviews, providers reflected on numerous barriers to diagnosis, management, and follow-up; recommendations for educational content; and how community health center systems can be improved. Findings informed development of a multifaceted intervention.

Designing and evaluating health systems level hypertension control interventions for African-Americans: lessons from a pooled analysis of three cluster randomized trials.
This study conducted a pooled analysis of three projects that aimed to evaluate clinically feasible interventions to effect changes in medical care delivery leading to an increased proportion of African American patients with controlled blood pressure (BP). The analysis of trial results to determine the magnitude of the combined intervention effect found that pooled BP did not differ significantly between intervention and control clusters.

Specialty use among patients with treated hypertension in a patient-centered medical home.
The researchers described changes in outpatient specialty use among patients with treated hypertension during and after patient-centered medical home (PCMH) practice transformation. Their results suggest that more comprehensive primary care in this PCMH redesign enabled primary care teams to deliver more hypertension care, and that many needs of low morbidity patients were within the scope of primary care practice.
