Summary

The investigators propose an intervention that leverages the success of Community Healthcare Workers (CHWs) and telehealth to connect patients with severe hypertension from Emergency Department (ED) to primary care resources and to coach them to adopt evidence-based, practical lifestyle solutions relevant to urban living. The investigators have proposed this intervention as "Coaching and Navigation by Community Health Workers (CHWs) through Telehealth for High-risk Hypertension: CONNECT-HTN intervention. The investigators hypothesize that participants receiving the CONNECT-HTN intervention will have a lower likelihood of experiencing a major cardiac event compared with those referred to clinic-based care.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

CONNECT-HTN

We propose a multimodal intervention that leverages the success of CHWs and telehealth to connect patients with severe hypertension to primary care resources and coach them to adopt evidence-based, practical lifestyle solutions relevant to urban living. We call the intervention Coaching and Navigation by CHW through Telehealth for High-risk Hypertension or CONNECT-HTN. CONNECT HTN will add to the evidential basis for implementing many of the WHO Best Buys for Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) prevention and control, and will be the first study powered to measure substantive mortality and mortality outcomes in LMICs.

OTHER

Standard ED management

During the Emergency Department (ED) admission, the participants in the control group will be provided a blood pressure measurement device and training to calculate their blood pressure at home. Standard ED management will be provided to these patients, followed by either discharge or admission for the management of hypertension.
