Mashup Score: 20Equitable Care for Hypertension: Blood Pressure and Patient-Reported Outcomes of the RICH LIFE Cluster Randomized Trial | Circulation - 4 month(s) ago
BACKGROUND: Disparities in hypertension control are well documented but underaddressed. METHODS: RICH LIFE (Reducing Inequities in Care of Hypertension: Lifestyle Improvement for Everyone) was a 2-arm, cluster randomized trial comparing the effect on blood pressure (BP) control (systolic BP ≤140 mm Hg, diastolic BP ≤90 mm Hg), patient activation, and disparities in BP control of 2 multilevel interventions, standard of care plus (SCP) and collaborative care/stepped care (CC/SC). SCP included BP measurement standardization, audit and feedback, and equity-leadership training. CC/SC added roles to address social or medical needs. Primary outcomes were BP control and patient activation at 12 months. Generalized estimating equations and mixed-effects regression models with fixed effects of time, intervention, and their interaction compared change in outcomes at 12 months from baseline. RESULTS: A total of 1820 adults with uncontrolled BP and ≥1 other risk factors enrolled in the study. Their

Mashup Score: 12
Innovative solutions and investments are needed to recruit and train new, diverse members of the public health workforce while better supporting those already in our field. A lack of investment in public health made responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and other key health issues extremely challenging and are continually testing, stretching and stressing the public health workforce. As recent challenges bring a better understanding of what is required to best protect and promote health—including better data, transforming our public health infrastructure, and addressing systemic challenges to our health and well-being through policy and environmental changes—ensuring this workforce has the right skills and expertise to take on these challenges will be essential. This session will share lessons about recent workforce innovations and how to engage new people in public health practice through fellowships and training programs, service initiatives such as Public Health AmeriCorps and other n
