Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether providing teaching with a low-cost device can help to improve blood pressure, health outcomes, patient self-efficacy without exacerbating inequity between advantaged and disadvantaged patients. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1. Does providing a free home blood pressure cuff improve control of hypertension? 2. Does providing a free home blood pressure cuff have a greater impact on control of hypertension in disadvantaged populations? 3. Does improved control of home blood pressure decrease adverse patient outcomes? Participants will be asked to * Take their blood pressure at home and records the results * Participate in follow-up phone calls from investigators at at 3 and 6 months Researchers will compare patients provided with home blood pressure monitors to those who are provided with routine education

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether giving stroke patients a free home blood pressure monitor before they leave the hospital leads to better blood pressure control afterward. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for repeat strokes, and home monitoring may help people stay on track. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 years old - You were admitted to Stanford Hospital's stroke service and are being discharged home or to rehab - You have had an ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, TIA (mini-stroke), or another condition putting you at high stroke risk - You do not already have a working home blood pressure monitor **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You already own and use a home blood pressure cuff - You are being discharged to a nursing facility - You are unable to use a blood pressure monitor at home Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
