Intervention

During an in-person visit, patients receive a pamphlet in english and spanish and a storytelling Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) (developed for this project from interviews with hypertensive patients), supplemented by motivational interviewing delivered by the CHW. The CHW explores the patient's motivation to change associated with hypertension and counsels on risk factor control (tobacco, diet, physical activity). Patients receive a followup telephone call from the CHW in 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months to support any changes or goals discussed at first visit. Six months after first intervention visit, patients are invited to schedule an in-person visit with the CHW at the health center to discuss goals and provide support for change.
