STEP-UP will promote linkage to primary care and ongoing chronic disease evaluation for postpartum women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and/or hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Read Less

Inflammation and stressors can interfere with the function of the lining of blood vessels and insulin activity, therefore, investigators are aiming to see how the Grape seed Extract (GSE) called MegaNatural BP can help with limiting the effects of these factors. This research will study the effects of taking 150mg of MegaNatural BP GSE per day on blood pressure levels along with influences on heart health through assessing the function of the blood vessel lining and levels of inflammation.

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual diabetes group visits on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Read Less

Hypertension and obesity are both major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), a leading cause of death for Black women in the United States. The investigators propose examining the feasibility and acceptability of the 12-week RN-CHeFRx (Real Nourishment and Cooking Healthy Food is Rx) intervention - grocery delivery, cooking classes, and nutrition education - for Black women with hypertension and obesity to improve nutritious eating habits and blood pressure control.

The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treating provider. Read Less

This randomized controlled trial will assess the efficacy and scalability of a blood pressure technology system intervention. The investigators will enroll 224 older adults with hypertension to identify those who are nonadherent for one hypertension medication. The participants will be randomized to one of two groups (112 per group) to use the blood pressure system for 6-months. Both groups receive information about high blood pressure and medications. One group will also receive strategies that can be used to take medications and manage blood pressure. Both groups will complete a mid-assessment at 3-months and a post-assessment at 6-months.

The purpose of this study is to examine the intervention effectiveness and dissemination of digital health care delivery models for improving selected health outcomes in the Medicaid population. Read Less

The purpose of the bpMedManage study is to rigorously test the efficacy of a smartphone technology to help improve high blood pressure medication adherence among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in a 16-week randomized controlled trial. A total of 100 older adults will be recruited. There will be two treatment arms, bpMedManage-S and bpMedManage-P with 50 participants in each arm. Participants randomized into the bpMEDManage-S intervention arm will use a smartphone application with medication reminders plus receive education with standardized information on hypertension and antihypertensive medications on the education portal. Participants in the bpMedManage-P group will use a smartphone to receive education with standardized information on hypertension and antihypertensive medications on an education portal. Both groups will complete baseline assessments followed by 4 weeks of medication adherence monitoring. At the end of the adherence monitoring period, participants will be randomized into one of the two treatment arms. Immediate outcomes on primary and secondary measures will be assessed 4 weeks after beginning of the intervention. Follow-up outcomes will be assessed 12 weeks after the beginning of the intervention. Read Less

After the participant meets all inclusion and exclusion criteria, they will be randomized equally to either the Resistance Training group (RT) or Aerobic Training group (AT). Both groups will participate in an 8 week initial control period, followed by 8 weeks of supervised exercise training, followed by 8 weeks of deconditioning. All participants will undergo the same assessments and procedures one time prior to the initial 8 week control period, and at each of the three periods. Assessments include: blood draws; arterial stiffness testing; ultrasounds of the brachial artery to measure flow-mediated dilation (FMD); gluteal adipose tissue biopsies; exercise testing to determine VO2 max; body composition analysis via DEXA scans; ambulatory blood pressure measurement; diet analysis via food journals; medical history questionnaires; urine analysis for pregnancy; and activity monitoring via accelerometer. Total participation will be 24-26 weeks. Read Less
