Summary

Specific aims are:

1. To outline and evaluate key active elements of the Mindfulness-Based Blood Pressure Reduction (MB-BP) intervention. This aim will be achieved using (a) focus groups of participants undergoing the MB-BP intervention, (b) discussion with experts (including cardiologists, epidemiologists, mindfulness experts, mindfulness intervention instructors) prior to, and following pilot testing of MBHT in participants, and (c) clinical judgment of the investigators performing the intervention.
2. To evaluate impacts of MB-BP on target engagement (pre-post change in effect size) and longevity of target engagement (follow-up time-points). Follow-up time periods include 10 weeks, 6 months and 1 year.

This study is a prospective single-arm trial during the intervention development phase. Following this phase, after the intervention has been further developed, a subsequent study (with a different clinicaltrials.gov identification #) will utilize a randomized control trial design to further evaluate causation and effect size.

BEHAVIORAL

MB-BP

MB-BP (Mindfulness-Based Blood Pressure Reduction) customizes Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to participants with prehypertension/hypertension. MB-BP will consist of nine 2.5-hour weekly group sessions and an 7.5-hour one-day session. Some of the unique areas of MB-BP are education on hypertension risk factors, hypertension health effects, and specific mindfulness modules focused on awareness of blood pressure determinants such as diet, physical activity, antihypertensive medication adherence, alcohol consumption, and stress reactivity. Students learn a range of mindfulness skills including body scan exercises, meditation and yoga. Homework consists of practicing skills for ≥45 min/day, 6 days/week.
