| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to carry out a randomized controlled pilot trial to test the effectiveness of an integrated intervention for hypertension and depression incorporating patients' social determinants of health (enhanced intervention) versus an integrated intervention alone (basic intervention). In all, 54 patients were randomized. An electronic monitor was used to measure blood pressure, and the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) assessed depressive symptoms. Patients in the enhanced intervention had a significantly improved PHQ-9 mean change from baseline in comparison with patients in the basic intervention group at 12 weeks (p = 0.024). Patients in the enhanced intervention had a significantly improved systolic and diastolic blood pressure mean change from baseline in comparison with patients in the basic intervention group at 12 weeks (p = 0.003 and p = 0.019, respectively). Our pilot trial results indicate integrated care management that addresses the social determinants of health for patients with hypertension and depression may be effective. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 October 2020.
All research outputs
#6,391,990
of 25,101,232 outputs
Outputs from Community Mental Health Journal
#288
of 1,368 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#93,828
of 314,732 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Community Mental Health Journal
#7
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,101,232 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,368 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 314,732 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
