Community-to-Clinic Implementation Program to Control Hypertension in Barbershops (CLIP HTN)
About This Grant
Modified Project Summary/Abstract Section Hypertension (HTN) control continues to be suboptimal in the US among men and at-risk populations living in socioeconomically disadvantaged communities. These differences stem in large part from adverse circumstances including poor access to care. Strategies to mitigate the effect of poor access to care on HTN control include the use of community health workers (CHWs) to link people to care and navigate health systems. With their tremendous reach, barbershops can serve as a platform to screen men for HTN and navigate them to care and other support to improve HTN control. The effect of a CHW-delivered barbershop-based linkage implementation program on HTN control is unknown. To address this research-to-practice gap we will build on our successful CLIP program (which focused on HTN prevention) to develop and implement the Community-to-Clinic Linkage Implementation Program to Control Hypertension in Barbershops (CLIP HTN). We hypothesize that integrating CLIP HTN into trusted community spaces with CHWs will improve early detection, increase linkage to care, and enhance long-term sustainability of HTN control efforts. The Specific Aims are: Aim 1: Identify barriers and facilitators of CLIP HTN adoption in barbershops using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to develop a context-specific implementation strategy. Aim 2: Compare in a cluster RCT of 22 barbershops among 440 men with uncontrolled HTN, the effect of barbershop facilitation (BF; n=11 barbershops) vs a self-directed control (n=11 barbershops) on BP reduction (primary outcome), HTN control, linkage to care, and adoption of CLIP HTN (secondary outcomes) at 12 months. Aim 3: Compare the effect of BF strategy vs. a self-directed control on sustainability and cost-effectiveness of CLIP HTN at 18 months (secondary outcome). Methods: Data will be analyzed through a mixed methods approach to assess implementation, effectiveness, health outcomes, and economic viability. Impact: CLIP HTN leverages community-based resources to improve access to care to control HTN. This scalable model can transform HTN control efforts nationwide.
