Abstract

nature publishing groupAfrican Americans have higher prevalence of hypertension and poorer hypertension-related outcomes than whites.[1][2][3] Poor medication adherence may explain the poor BP control in African Americans.4,5 Behavioral counseling strategies are effective in improving medication adherence of chronic diseases patients, 6,7 with little data in hypertensive African Americans.Successful interventions include those that are emotionally supportive; involve patients in their care; address patients' beliefs about medications; and enhance patients' confidence in their ability to overcome barriers to adherence.[8][9][10][11][12][13] Motivational interviewing (MINT), a counseling approach that has gained increased popularity in primary care practices, 14 encompasses several of these characteristics.MINT is defined as directive, patient-centered counseling designed to motivate patients for change by helping them recognize and resolve the discrepancy between their behavior, personal goals, and values.15 In patients with chronic diseases, MINT is effective in facilitating the adoption and maintenance of recommended health behaviors including weight loss, smoking cessation, and dietary habits.[16][17][18][19][20] Despite its proven efficacy, the effect of MINT on medication adherence remains untested in hypertensive African Americans in primary care settings.In this randomized controlled trial, we tested the effect of a practice-based MINT vs. usual care (UC) on medication adherence and blood pressure (BP), among hypertensive African Americans.We hypothesized a greater effect of MINT on medication adherence compared to UC at 12 months and that this effect would be associated with a significant reduction in clinic BP. Methods Setting and patients.As described elsewhere, 21 patients were recruited from two community-based primary care practices affiliated with New York Presbyterian Hospital Ambulatory Care Network.Eligible patients were identified via electronic medical records (EMRs) and asked to participate during routine office visits by trained research assistants (RAs).Eligibility

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
