Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) Levels
All participants will have office blood pressure (BP) measured on their non-dominant arm with an Omron HEM-907XL BP device. 3 BP readings separated by one minute will be obtained at each visit. The 3 BP readings will be averaged to obtain mean BP. SBP Levels are classified as follows: Normal: Below 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) Elevated: 120-129 mm Hg Stage 1 hypertension: 130-139 mm Hg Stage 2 hypertension: 140 mm Hg or more Hypertensive crisis: 180 mm Hg or more

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) Levels
All participants will have office blood pressure (BP) measured on their non-dominant arm with an Omron HEM-907XL BP device. At each visit, 3 BP readings separated by one minute will be obtained. The 3 BP readings will be averaged to obtain study BP. DBP Levels are classified as follows: Normal: Lower than 80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) Stage 1 hypertension: 80-89 mm Hg Stage 2 hypertension: 90 mm Hg or more Hypertensive crisis: 120 mm Hg or more.

12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) Questionnaire Score
The SF-12 is a self-reported outcome measure assessing the impact of health on an individual's everyday life. It is often used as a quality-of-life measure. SF-12 consists of 12 questions that are scored in various ways. The total score range is 12-48; the higher the score, the better the physical and mental health functioning.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The CLIP program will train Community Health Workers (CHWs) to screen and identify Black men with elevated blood pressure (BP) or stage 1 hypertension (HTN), initiate lifestyle counseling; and link them to primary care and social services.
Detailed Description
The study will consist of: An implementation phase that will use a cluster randomized cluster trial of 20 barbershops among Black men with elevated BP or Stage 1 HTN, to compare the effect of the Barbershop-based Facilitation (BF) strategy (n=10 barbershops; n=210 participants) vs. self-directed control (i.e. receipt of information for implementation of CLIP without the BF strategy; n=10 barbershops; n=210 participants), on BP reduction, HTN prevention, linkage to care, and adoption of CLIP at 12 months A post-implementation phase that will use Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) to evaluate the effect of the BF strategy versus self-directed control on sustainability of CLIP 6 months after completion of the trial; and cost-effectiveness over a 10-year time horizon.
