Summary

Individuals with prehypertension are at risk for developing cardiovascular disease and sustained hypertension. Modifying lifestyle behaviors (diet, weight loss, sodium intake, physical activity, alcohol intake) has been shown to reduce blood pressure in hypertensives. Participants in this study will be enrolled in one of two groups. Participants in the first group will receive usual care, and participants in the second group will receive a 4 session telephone-based lifestyle intervention. The goal of the study is to determine whether this intervention is effective in promoting behavior change and reducing blood pressure among prehypertensives.
