The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center $1.347 million on July 18, 2026, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to test the efficacy of a family-level hypertension self-management intervention for African American primary care patients. The project, titled "WALK TOGETHER Trial," will conduct a randomized controlled study of a novel dyadic intervention delivered over eight weeks to African American patients living with uncontrolled hypertension and their family support persons. The intervention aims to optimize family relationship quality, increase family support for hypertension self-management, and improve hypertension knowledge and control. Prior community-based participatory research informed the design and adaptation of the intervention to address documented barriers to self-management adherence, including limited health knowledge, difficulty sustaining lifestyle changes, environmental obstacles to self-care, and insufficient family support. Performance occurs at UT Southwestern's Dallas, Texas location. The period of performance extends from the award date through January 31, 2031. The award is classified as a Project Grant, an assistance type supporting investigator-initiated research projects aligned with NIMHD's mission to lead scientific research improving minority health and reducing health disparities through basic, clinical, social, and behavioral research.
