This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), provides $1,178,532 to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) to investigate racial/ethnic disparities in clinician adherence to hypertension treatment guidelines and their impact on blood pressure control.

The project aims to: 1) evaluate the extent of racial disparities in hypertension treatment based on the 2017 AHA/ACC guidelines in the Southeastern U.S.; 2) investigate patient, provider, clinic, and geographic/social factors contributing to racial/ethnic disparities in guideline-concordant hypertension treatment; and 3) determine if racial disparities in blood pressure control can be attributed to providers' lack of adherence to treatment guidelines. The research will utilize data from the Stakeholders, Technology, and Research Clinical Research Network (STAR CRN) database of ~14 million diverse patients. Additionally, qualitative interviews with clinicians and patients will gather insights on reasons for providers' deviation from guidelines and recommendations to improve compliance. The findings aim to inform future interventions to promote equitable blood pressure control.

This multi-institutional research project involves sub-awards to Wake Forest University Health Sciences, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, Medical University of South Carolina, and Mayo Clinic to leverage their specialized expertise in cardiovascular research, clinical care, and health disparities.
