Please join us for Native-CHART webinar titled:
“BLOOD PRESSURE – IMPROVING CONTROL AMONG ALASKA NATIVE PEOPLE (BP-ICAN)” with Dr. Denise Dillard (Inupiaq Eskimo) on Wednesday, December 4th 2019 12:00pm-1:00pm PST (11am-12pm AST)
Stroke and cardiovascular disease are leading causes of death among Alaska Native and American Indian people. Hypertension, or high blood pressure (BP), is the leading risk factor for these serious health issues. The goal of the BP-ICAN study is to understand the impact of self-management and communication strategies on hypertension management.
Dr. Denise Dillard (Inupiaq Eskimo) will discuss the BP-ICAN study, including the community’s engagement in the project design. She will also review preliminary studies that examined patient and provider views on the nature of hypertension and BP management strategies and evaluated different types of home BP monitors. This webinar is free but registration is required.
Please register here.
Native-CHART aims to improve control of blood pressure and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease in American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders with diagnosed hypertension.
