Participate in the PRISM-BP research study at UAB, investigating whether sharing personalized genetic risk scores can help people better control blood pressure.

In this study, participants will attend 7 visits over 12 months. The study involves health checks, blood tests, urine samples, activity tracking, and wearing a 24-hour blood pressure monitor. Some participants will also receive their genetic risk score with counseling.

Eligible participants must be 18–55 years old, have high blood pressure, and have no history of serious heart or kidney problems. Women cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Participants will be compensated up to $360 for completing study visits.
