Summary

This trial will compare the effects of a targeted management intervention against an enhanced wait-list control in depressed African-American women at risk for hypertension.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young African-American women under 50 with depression and at risk for high blood pressure, but not yet diagnosed with it. Participants must have a BMI ≥30, HbA1c >5.75, a recent BP reading of ≥130/90 mmHg, be current smokers or have LDL levels ≥100 mg/dl.
What is being tested?
The study compares the TEAM-Red self-management program against an enhanced waitlist control over 24 weeks to see if it helps manage risks associated with hypertension in depressed Black women who are predisposed to high blood pressure.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a non-medical intervention focusing on self-management and lifestyle changes rather than medication or procedures, significant physical side effects are not expected.
