Adult Stroke Prevalence, by Public Health Region (PHR), Texas, 2017
Overall Stroke Prevalence in Texas = 3.5% (95% CI: 2.8 - 4.2)
Data Classification: Quantiles. Data Source: 2017 Texas Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), Center for Health Statistics, Texas Department of State Health Services. Stroke is defined as "Yes" responses to the survey question, "Have you ever been told by a doctor or health professional that you have a stroke?"

Elizabeth Harker, MPH Chronic Disease Epidemiologist
High Blood Pressure (HBP)
- What happens when blood
pressure is high?
- Blood vessel walls are
stretched and injured.
- The heart works harder
than it should, hurting the arteries and heart.1
Sources: 1 https://www.cdc.gov/bloodpressure/about.htm
2 https://www.cdc.gov/bloodpressure/infographic.htm
- People with HBP are 3x more likely to die from
heart disease and 4x more likely to die from a stroke.2
Tyler
- Located in Smith County; which has a
Hypertension prevalence of 52.9%1.
- Overall Texas prevalence is 32.5%1.
- Is a medically underserved area2.

- Project conducted at the University of Texas Health
Science Center at Tyler (UTHSCT).
- UTHSCT physicians referred patients aged 18 years and
- lder who had uncontrolled high blood pressure (HBP) to
a Community Health Worker (CHW).
- BP >=140/90 mmHg
Methods: Recruitment
- CHW introduced project and invited
patient to an orientation for more information.
- CHW took baseline BP reading.
- Participants were provided with a BP monitor and
guidance on its usage.
- 2-3 seated blood pressure readings, twice daily,
- nce in the morning and evening, 5 days a
week.
- Participants attended bi-weekly workshops on HBP
and HBP control.
- UTHSCT ran 4 Cohorts during February 2017 to
December 2018.
- Each Cohort lasted, on average, 12 weeks.
Methods: Project
- Only those with at least two BP readings ten or more
weeks apart were included in the pre-post analysis (N=140).
- Paired t-tests and the Wilson Score Interval were used
to determine statistical significance of changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP, respectively) and BP categories (Normal, Prehypertension, Hypertension Stage I, Hypertension Stage II) from baseline to project end (i.e., graduation).
Methods: Analysis
- 65% Female
- 48.6% White
- 55.4% High school graduates
- Median Age: 53 years
- Minimum: 18 years; Maximum: 89 years
- Average BMI: 34 kg/m2
- Minimum: 15 kg/m2; Maximum: 74 kg/m2

Changes in SBP and DBP
- 93.6% (N=131) of participants

- 22.1% (N=31) had decrease in
SBP only.
- 2.9% (N=4) had decrease in DBP

- 68.6% (N=96) had decrease in
both SBP and DBP.
17 mmHg increase in SBP 94 mmHg decrease in SBP
The average change in SBP was a 24.6 mmHg decrease The average change in DBP was a 7.9 mmHg decrease

Blood Pressure Category Changes
- 900% increase in participants meeting
the criteria for Normal BP
- From 3 to 30 participants
- 158% increase in participants meeting
the criteria for Prehypertension
- From 31 to 80 participants
- 54.7% decrease in participants meeting
the criteria for Hypertension Stage 1
- From 53 to 24 participants
- 88.7% decrease in participants meeting
the criteria for Hypertension Stage 2
- From 53 to 6 participants

Blood Pressure Category, Baseline vs. Graduation Date
Baseline Graduation
- 1. At-home BP monitoring can lead to improved
management of BP.
- 2. Regular contact with CHWs may help patients in
lowering BP.
- 3. Similar strategies could be adopted by local
health departments or health systems.
