Project AsPIRE (Asian American Partnerships in Research and Empowerment) was a CHW intervention designed to improve hypertension management and cardiovascular disease risk factors among Filipino Americans with uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) in New York City (NYC). Participants in the intervention group received four group-based educational sessions delivered by a trained CHW and four monthly one-on-one visits. Participants in the control group received only the first educational session. Primary study outcomes included increased BP control, decreases in systolic and diastolic BP, and changes in appointment keeping at 8-month follow-up.

	AsPIRE Predictors of Hypertension Paper	Publications and reports	Hypertension, Nutrition, Physical activity	English
This paper discusses the growing challenge of multimorbidity—when a person has multiple chronic conditions—and argues that healthcare systems and clinical guidelines are often designed around single diseases, which can lead to fragmented, burdensome, and sometimes conflicting care for these patients. The authors emphasize that multimorbidity is especially common in older adults and is associated with worse outcomes, higher healthcare use, and reduced quality of life.
