Self-Measured Blood Pressure Programs
Learn to monitor and manage your blood pressure
Overview
Self-Measured Blood Pressure (SMBP) programs teach adults how to improve and manage blood pressure. Participants work to:
- Make healthy choices
- Choose healthier foods
- Stay active
- Control stress
- Manage medications if needed
Repeated visits with a member of their health care team help track progress. Support from a trained health care team helps people achieve and maintain their health goals.
Who qualifies?
Alaska adults who:
- Have high blood pressure
- Are currently working to manage their blood pressure
- Are at risk of developing high blood pressure
Being at risk of developing high blood pressure includes:
- Occasional high blood pressure readings
- A family history of high blood pressure
- A history of high blood pressure during pregnancy
There can be benefits to SMBP even if you manage your blood pressure with medication. SMBP may reduce how much medication you need.
