This study will compare a nurse-administered tailored program to a home BP monitoring program to evaluate the impact each program has on BP control. The 5-year randomized controlled study will take place in a primary care setting and will enroll individuals with high BP. The nurse-administered program will be based on the principles of the Health Decision Model and will be designed to increase awareness, yet be easily integrated into the participant's medical care so as to enhance adherence with the prescribed treatment. The use of home BP monitors has been found to be associated with increased self management, medication adherence, and improved BP control.
