Title
-
Lowering Blood Pressure among American Women.
-
Abstract/Description
-
Annette Sheets presents her Capstone project, which focused on raising awareness of the prevalence of hypertension in women in the United States, the efficacy of home blood pressure monitoring, and reviewing evidence-based initiatives already in place to address the issue of hypertension. She addresses the unique risk factors faced by women and reviews literature related to blood pressure monitoring, then discusses her work determining whether home monitoring of blood pressure or intermittent blood pressure checks in a doctor's office are more likely to affect blood pressure levels after three months. She closes with recommendations on how to decrease the risks of hypertension.
