17 Check. Change. Control. Self-Monitoring Blood Pressure Control Million Adults have High Blood Pressure Based on 2017 AHA/ACC Hypertension Clinical Guidelines 17

18 Our Goal for Better Control Nearly half (46%) of adult Americans have HBP 18 KEY LIFESTYLE OPPORTUNITIES TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE: REDUCE WEIGHT 5 mm Hg MODERATION OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION 4 mm Hg AEROBIC PHYSICAL ACTIVITY 5-8 mm Hg LOWER SODIUM INTAKE 5-6 mm Hg ADOPT D.A.S.H. EATING PLAN 11 mm Hg

19 Check. Change. Control. Evidence based high blood pressure management program that utilizes a tracker to empower patients to take ownership of their cardiovascular health. Incorporates the concepts of remote monitoring, mentoring, tracking as key features to improve HBP management, physical activity and weight reduction. Four month education sessions are recommended along with incentives for participation. Encourage participants to take weekly readings or 8 readings at least once/month over 4 months. 19

20 Check. Change. Control. Check. Change. Control. was founded on successful evidencebased practices from the American Heart Association pilot program, Check It, Change It. The Check It, Change It program proved to be especially effective among the target population of African- Americans (Thomas et al. (2012). Check It, Change It: A Community-Based Intervention to Improve Blood Pressure Control). 20

21 Check. Change. Control. Engages Participants Developed to support hypertension management among the adult population, Check. Change.
