Title: Implementing Evidence-based Treatment of Hypertension
Brief Summary: This study examines the use of patient initiated discussions of blood pressure medication in the primary care setting. Additionally, this study examines different levels of patient incentive(s) to initiate discussions with providers including information only, information plus a financial incentive and reimbursement for 6 months of copay, and information/monetary incentive plus a reminder call prior to the index visit. Patient opinions about doctor/patient relationships will be assessed. Provider attitudes and prescribing behaviors will be analyzed as well.
