Partnering with Patients Using Lifestyle Modification and Motivational Interviewing – Step 3b in Hypertension Control
02/23/22 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm CST

Learning objectives
• Review the evidence-based non-pharmacological lifestyle interventions to prevent and treat hypertension
• Describe the approximate impact of specific non-pharmacological lifestyle interventions on systolic blood pressure
• Outline the role of collaborative communication including motivational interviewing and evidence-based strategies in promoting patient adherence to lifestyle interventions
• Identify resources that can support clinic staff and patients to learn more about lifestyle interventions
