Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Program

FOR PEOPLE WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

The Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring (BPSM) program is a four-month evidence-based health intervention designed to help persons with high blood pressure better manage their blood pressure by developing the habit of routine self-monitoring and tracking their blood pressure. Participants work with trained Healthy Heart Ambassadors for the duration of the program and are encouraged to:

• Measure and record their blood pressure on their own ("self-monitor") at least two times per month
• Attend at least two personalized Office Hours consultations with a Healthy Heart Ambassador per month
• Attend monthly Nutrition Education Seminars
