The primary objective of this project is to improve the health status of participants through pharmacist-delivered blood pressure control programs that demonstrate value to employers and justify adoption, sustainability and scalability of these programs.
Univariate comparisons of the baseline/pre-intervention outcomes to the post-intervention outcomes will be performed on outcomes in order to determine how the intervention affects each. For continuous outcomes data the univariate comparisons of the pre-treatment and post-intervention outcomes will be performed using related samples t-test comparisons. For categorical outcomes data, comparisons of pre-intervention to post-intervention time frames will be performed using McNemar tests.
