This study is testing whether storytelling—hearing and sharing real experiences from people managing high blood pressure—can help you make lifestyle changes and take your blood pressure medication more consistently. Researchers want to see if this approach works better than standard care alone, and whether it can actually lower your blood pressure numbers.
High blood pressure is a serious health problem for many African Americans, and many people struggle to stick with their medications or make lifestyle changes that would help. This study is exploring whether learning from other people's real stories might be a more powerful and meaningful way to inspire change than traditional medical advice.

You'll be randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard care only, a web-based storytelling program you can do online, or an in-person group where you share and hear stories about managing high blood pressure. Throughout the study, researchers will check your blood pressure and ask about your medication use to see if the storytelling approach helps you manage your condition better.
