Technology Coaching Intervention for Black Women With Hypertension
NCT03577990 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Hypertension (HTN) is a global problem affecting 972 million adults and an important public health burden since it is the main cause of cardiovascular disease and death, and the second leading cause of disability. Disproportionately affected, Black women have the highest prevalence of HTN in the United States. This research will evaluate potential interventions for possible community-based strategies for controlling HTN using interactive self-care strategies with coaching and technology. We hypothesize that participants who receive the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) workshop and Interactive Technology Enhanced Coaching (ITEC) will have lower systolic/diastolic blood pressure (BP) and better adherence to antihypertensive medication(s) and lifestyle recommendations (physical activity, diet, and weight management) post intervention compared to participants receiving self-care management alone.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03577990
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03577990 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 90 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of North Carolina, Charlotte, which has 5 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Uncontrolled Hypertension appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Interactive Technology Enhanced Coaching (ITEC) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03577990 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
