Evaluation of the National Hypertension

Type of Collection: Revision.
OMB No.: 0990–0482–OS/Office of
Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH)/
Office of Minority Health (OMH).
Abstract: As part of the federal
response to COVID–19, the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS)/Office of Secretary (OS)/
Office of Assistant Secretary for Health
(OASH)/Office of Minority Health
(OMH) has funded a new initiative
involving two cooperative agreements
with the American Heart Association
(AHA) to improve COVID–19-related
health outcomes by addressing
hypertension (high blood pressure)
among racial and ethnic minority
populations.
The $32 million project from the HHS
Office of Minority Health (OMH) and
the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) Bureau of
Primary Health Care will support the
implementation of the National
Hypertension Control Initiative (NHCI),
a national initiative to improve blood
pressure control among the most at-risk
populations, including racial and ethnic
minorities.
The NHCI will support 350
participating HRSA-funded health
centers by providing patient and
provider education and training for
effective hypertension control and
integration of remote blood pressure
monitoring technology into treating
hypertension for patients served by
participating health centers. The project
will also utilize the American Heart
Association’s targeted media campaigns
and existing partnerships with
community-based organizations (CBOs)
to help reach Black, Latino, and other
impacted communities with (i)
culturally and linguistically appropriate
messages, (ii) access to blood pressure
screenings, and (iii) connection to

health centers to encourage proper
treatment and management of
hypertension of screened individuals.
This initiative serves to increase the
number of adult patients with
controlled hypertension and reduce the
potential risk of COVID-related health
outcomes.
AHA aims to conduct an evaluation to
assess the feasibility of the
implementation of each of the three
NHCI strategies. The findings of this
evaluation will inform the improvement
and tailoring of AHA’s communication
approaches about the importance of and
techniques for improving blood pressure
control, including the benefits of
accurately measuring, rapidly acting,
and having a patient-focused approach
to blood pressure control.
Methodology
The current proposed evaluation of
the NHCI project will use a mixed
methods design, integrating both
quantitative and qualitative data
collection and analyses. Three main
goals of data collection will be to: (1)
track and monitor Community Health
Workers’ (CHW) progress on activities
related to knowledge and practices for
blood pressure control and general
health quarterly, (2) assess the reach and
success of NHCI project strategies
implemented by CHC partners.
Specifically, the AHA will engage in:
Primary Data Collection
CHW Application. Collecting
information on participating
Community Health Workers (CHWs) at
a single point in time to assist with
placement in workforce activities
related to blood pressure control.
CHW Assessment Form. Monitoring
the placement and community-based
goals of CHWs participating in the NHCI
at a single point in time.
CHW Empowered To Serve (ETS)
Program Modules. Administering health
lessons and quizzes to Community
Health Workers (CHWs) working with
Community-based Organizations and
Community Health Centers to assess

knowledge, skills, and practices both

of the modules.
CHC Surveys. Conducting online data
collection on participation and use of
NHCI services and supports with CHC
staff, with a single collection for each
survey.
