Personalized text message and checklist support for initiation of antihypertensive medication: the cluster randomized, controlled check and support trial.

Conclusion: Only a small proportion of patients in the intervention and control groups reached their treatment target despite multiple health care contacts and medication changes. The study interventions did not improve SBP control. However, this study demonstrates new information about hypertension control, antihypertensive medication and health service utilization during the first treatment year.
