This study will develop and evaluate a multilevel implementation strategy to improve management of hard-to-control hypertension among low-income adults receiving care at the Family Health Centers at NYU Langone Health, a network of federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) in New York City.
Using a hybrid mixed-methods implementation science design, the study will be conducted across 9 primary care locations over three phases: a pre-implementation phase to identify contextual barriers using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR); an implementation phase to deploy and evaluate a multilevel care model; and a post-implementation phase to develop a pragmatic toolkit for scale-up.
