Research Pharmacist Monitoring
The pharmacist will help the mother find a primary care physician if she doesn't have one, obtain health insurance if she doesn't have any, and discuss any health-related information about herself or her child, as needed. These pharmacist interactions will occur 7 days after baseline and again 1 month later (the participant will be asked to measure and text their blood pressure again 1 time per day for 3 days during the follow-up month). If the participant's blood pressures become elevated, the pharmacist will provide behavioral and lifestyle interventions to attempt to lower the blood pressure. They may also recommend medications to the participant's physician. The pharmacist will have access to the participant's electronic medical record to obtain any blood pressure-related medications that the mother is prescribed as well as throughout the follow up to ensure any health-related conditions can be discussed, as necessary. Research Pharmacist: The goal of this intervention is to determine if contact with the research pharmacist will improve the health of the mother and/or child.
