abstract: Healthy People 2020 objectives include increasing the proportion of individuals who are adherent to their hypertensive medications. In this paper we highlight lessons learned through the implementation of a clinical trial to evaluate a behavioral intervention to increase medication adherence in a rural, low-income, primarily African American community.
